-Known as the double aspherical
-Highly unusual and unique front/rear concave lens elements, the only Leica lens of its kind to feature this at the time.
-This lens has become highly collectible and continuing to rise in price. For all the right reasons! The 35mm focal length is the most practical and most use lens. The 35mm 1.4 is fast and still compact on the M system
-This is the first ASPHERICAL 35mm Leica ever made and was unique to this particular 11873 code lens. 2 hand ground element, very difficult to make and subsequently was a small limited production

An all time classic Leica lens. Really fabulous and getting harder and harder to find. I have known of mint examples but this one I know for sure is a NEW OLD STOCK with box, papers and all. A great investment as they are always continuing to rise in value but most importantly a pleasure to have and enjoy!
