Leica is introducing two new Summilux lenses for the M-Rangefinders at Photokina. The Leica Summilux-M 21mm f/1.4 and Leica Summilux -M 24mm f/1.4 lenses both feature extremely large apertures for their respective focal lengths. The Summilux-M 21mm f/1.4 is actually the first 21mm lens with an f/1.4 aperture.
