Leica M EV1 Camera with Summicron M 35mm f/2 Lens Black Anodised Summary
The Leica M EV1 Camera with Summicron-M 35mm f/2 Lens Black Anodised combines Leica’s first M body with an integrated electronic viewfinder and one of the system’s most popular focal lengths. The kit includes the M EV1 digital rangefinder body and the Summicron-M 35mm f/2, a compact prime lens widely used for reportage, documentary, portraits and everyday photography.
Within the M range, the EV1 sits alongside the M11 series but features a built-in 5.76-megapixel OLED EVF, allowing direct live view composition with focus aids and exposure preview. Paired with the 35mm Summicron, the camera shows the full field of view clearly through the EVF, which supports precise framing and manual focus without relying solely on the optical rangefinder.
This kit is suitable for photographers who work across varied subjects and prefer a single, adaptable focal length lens to begin with. It is a well considered entry into the M system for new users, while also providing an updated way of working for existing M photographers who want the benefits of electronic preview and focusing without moving away from the M ecosystem.

Leica M EV1 Camera with Summicron M 35mm f/2 Lens Black Anodised in More Detail
Lens and Image quality
The 35mm focal length is central to the Leica M system and allows you to cover a wide range of subjects without perspective distortion. On the M EV1’s full-frame sensor, it records scenes with a natural field of view that works well for environmental portraits, street photography and documentary. The Summicron-M 35mm f/2 provides consistent sharpness and produces smooth tonal transitions, which the EV1 sensor records with high detail and wide dynamic range.
Manual focus with EVF support
The M EV1 includes an integrated electronic viewfinder, which is a first for the M system, changing how manual focus can be checked in real time. Focus peaking highlights areas of sharp focus in the viewfinder, while focus magnification allows fine adjustment when working at f/2 or at close distances. With the 35mm lens, this combination supports accurate focus placement without rangefinder coupling alone.
Handling and usability
The Summicron-M 35mm f/2 is compact on the EV1 body, keeping the overall kit lightweight for all day handheld shooting. The rectangular metal lens hood reduces stray light while maintaining a low profile, and the camera’s FN-Lever places focus aids within easy reach. The EVF displays exposure, framing and shooting data, allowing continuous feedback without moving your eye away from the viewfinder.
Connectivity
Images can be stored to the EV1’s 64GB of internal memory or to an SD card, with wireless transfer available through the Leica FOTOS app. This supports background image transfer, quick review, and backup without removing the card, which suits location photographers and travelling light.
