There is not only a hard-stop, there is also an infinity lock, so if your lens is set to infinity you first have to push down the button on the focus tab to be able to change the focus distance.

The focus ring has a nice, well dampened resistance and turns about 90° from the minimum focus distance (1.0 m) to infinity. The original Leica 28mm 5.6 Summaron had been released in 1955, so having a look at this lens’ mechanical design is a bit of a trip down memory lane.įor focusing you need to use the small focus tab, the barrel itself is so small there is nowhere to grab it.
