Our staff has reviewed every Leica M-mount lens currently on the market. As much as we adore them, I’m sure we’d all be happier with matte black variants of their lenses. Matte exteriors have a few characteristic differences and advantages over more polished surfaces. That’s precisely what they’re doing with their new 28mm Summicron variant. The Leica 28mm f2 Matte Black is a little less shiny and flashy than their other lenses. If you’ve beaten your camera up with lots of patina to showcase, this might be the one you want. Cue George Michael’s Careless Whisper, please.
