A Legendary Lineage — The Elcan 66 mm f/2
The Leica Summicron-M 66 f/2 draws its identity from one of the rarest and most historically significant lenses in the Leica M-System: the Elcan 66 mm f/2. Originally developed by Dr. Walter Mandler at Ernst Leitz Canada in the late 1960s as a specialist lens for the US Navy, it was never released for public sale — with only around 200 units ever produced. Now, more than half a century later, this once-secret optic returns as a numbered Limited Edition of 660 units, giving photographers and collectors alike the chance to own a piece of contemporary Leica history.
