Lens Overview — Yasuhara 35mm f/1.8

The Yasuhara Anthy 35mm f/1.8 is a manual-focus prime lens designed for the Leica M mount, making it a natural fit for rangefinder-style mirrorless systems. Built around a full-frame image circle, this wide-angle prime delivers a 35mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/1.8, giving shooters meaningful low-light capability and the ability to manage depth of field with precision. As a fully manual lens with no autofocus or image stabilization, it places complete control in the hands of the photographer — a deliberate design choice that appeals to those who prefer a more considered, tactile shooting experience.

The lens accepts 52mm filters, which is a compact and widely available thread size, making it straightforward to add protection or creative filtration. At 423 grams, the Anthy 35mm has a substantive feel without being burdensome, particularly on the compact mirrorless bodies it is designed for. This is a lens for photographers drawn to the discipline of manual focus and the character that comes with a dedicated prime at a classic focal length.

The Leica M mount compatibility opens it up to a broad range of mirrorless cameras via adapters, extending its versatility beyond dedicated rangefinder bodies.
