Is the leica summicron sl 35mm f 2 asph good for landscape?

Yes, you can shoot landscapes with it, but it isn't the classic choice. On full frame, 35mm is a standard-wide view, so it can feel tight for big skies and wide foregrounds. The usual pick is a wide zoom, around 16-35mm, as covered on Landscape.

The f/2 aperture is more speed than landscape work needs, since you'll usually shoot between f/8 and f/11. The lens is about half the weight of the APO-Summicron-SL 35, which helps if you're carrying gear up a hill. It fits full frame bodies such as the Leica SL3, and you can see the full list on its lens page.

If your landscapes are mostly intimate scenes, or you want a single lens for everything, it's a reasonable choice. For sweeping views, I'd look for a wider lens to pair with it. Our Landscape guide explains why.
