Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 - Silver

The Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 is the rebirth of a classic Leica lens, providing outstanding image quality and particularly soft bokeh. Summilux lenses have become synonymous for particularly fast Leica lenses featuring an aperture of f/1.4 to f/1.7. The new interpretation combines the classic vintage look reminiscent of its historical predecessor with state-of-the-art technology.

The optical calculation is based on the second Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 (II), an almost unchanged version of which was produced from 1962 to 2004. It is noted for its impressive image quality and unmatched image characteristics at a wide aperture. This Summilux-M also captures the moment with particularly soft bokeh when a wide aperture is used, making it ideal for portrait photography. When stopped down, the new lens produces sharper and higher-contrast images than its historical predecessor. This is ensured by modern production techniques and the use of special types of glass. The new edition of this classic lens fulfils all the requirements of modern M-Cameras with a high-resolution sensor. Compared to its historical predecessor, it offers even more creative freedom thanks to its extended close focusing distance of 0.7 m.

Like all M-System lenses, this Summilux-M proudly bears the “Made in Germany” label and is testament to the quality for which Leica lenses are known all around the world. Made by hand from solid brass and fitted with a high-quality, round vintage lens hood, it combines a charming vintage design with technical precision.
