Is the leica summilux m 35mm f 1 4 hard to focus manually?

The site doesn't say how the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 feels to focus by hand, so I can't give you a verdict on difficulty. What I can tell you is that it's manual focus only, with no autofocus, so you'll be focusing it yourself every time. It's a remake of Leica's 1960s design and is soft and glowing wide open, which is part of its character.

It fits a long run of Leica M bodies, from the M9 through the M11 family, so check the lens page for the full list before you buy. If you mostly shoot people and want to know whether 35mm suits you, the portraits page walks through the focal lengths.
