Released in January 2025, the Artizlab Classic 35mm f1.4 for M pays tribute to the iconic Leica M35/1.4 V2 from the 1960s. While the exterior faithfully mimics the timeless industrial design of the original, the optics have been completely reimagined for modern image standards.
This lens features a brand-new 6-element-in-8-group construction, incorporating high-refractive-index glass. Compared to the original Leica version (which used a 5/7 optical layout), this design effectively reduces flare and improves center resolution, while preserving the signature Leica-style color rendering and tonal smoothness.
One of the most distinctive aspects is the revival of the focusing lock mechanism, a beloved feature that only appeared in the earliest M35/1.4 V2 models and was later discontinued. This mechanism enhances the tactile experience of shooting — press to unlock, glide to focus, capture the moment, and let it return to infinity — creating a sense of quiet precision and ritual with every frame.
This is not just a tribute — it’s a classic reborn, with modern refinement.
