- This is the thinnest evidence of any entry in the series: one rumour-site list, no confirmation from the maker, no prototype, no price and no date beyond the phrase "in 2027 and beyond". The single-source badge on this page is the point of it.
- 2026 is the year the focal length was named in public. It is not a production year and should not be read as one.
- The five focal lengths listed are 28mm, 50mm, 75mm, 90mm and 135mm, all f/2. Only the 50mm is confirmed by the maker; the 35mm f/2 that opened the series is a separate, shipping lens.
How to tell them apart
Named on a list (nothing shown):
- No prototype, drawing, MTF curve, price or date has been published as of September 2026
- Named on a list (nothing shown): Attributed to Light Lens Lab by Leica Rumors on 11 August 2026, in a list of five apochromatic M-mount focal lengths said to be coming in 2027 and beyond. The maker's own series announcement of 4 August 2026 does not mention a 75mm.

History
This page records an attribution, and should not be read as a description of a product. A 75mm f/2 apochromatic appears once in the public record: in Leica Rumors’ list of 11 August 2026 naming five apochromatic M-mount focal lengths to follow the 35mm f/2, all of them at f/2, all placed “in 2027 and beyond”. That is the entire source. Light Lens Lab’s own announcement of 4 August 2026 names the 35mm and a 50mm beginning in 2027 and goes no further; a 75mm is not in it.
So there is no formula to report, no element count, no prototype, no price and no date. What can be said is what the number would mean if the lens were made. Seventy-five millimetres is Leica’s own oddity — a focal length essentially nobody else builds for the rangefinder, introduced for the M with the Summilux-M 75mm f/1.4 and refined into the APO-Summicron-M 75mm f/2 ASPH of 2005. That last lens has the identical specification: 75mm, f/2, apochromatic, for the M mount. An LLL 75mm f/2 apochromatic would therefore not be filling a gap but duplicating a Leica lens that has been in the catalogue for twenty years, which is a much less obvious commercial move than a 50mm and may be part of why the maker has not confirmed it.
The catalog’s usual reading does not apply here either. Light Lens Lab is in this encyclopedia because its lenses are recreations, and the interesting question about each is what survived the copy — the eight-element Summicron, the Noctilux 50mm f/1.2, the Hologon, the ELCAN pair. The apochromatic series is explicitly not that. Its announcement says the aim is to “independently develop high-performance optical designs”, so there is no discontinued original behind this focal length and nothing in this catalog to set beside it.
The honest summary is short. One rumour post names a 75mm f/2. Nothing else does. Everything above about what such a lens would be up against is context for a specification that may never be built, and if it is built, announced optics change between the announcement and the shipment — and this one has not reached the stage where there is anything to change.
This history is AI-written, from the sources listed at the foot of the page. Where the record is silent it says so rather than filling the gap — but no human wrote these sentences.
