The Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. Lens is a refined standard prime engineered for precision and versatility. Its apochromatic optical design corrects chromatic aberrations across the full spectrum, delivering exceptional color accuracy and contrast. The aspherical element minimizes spherical aberrations for consistently sharp results from edge to edge, while the floating element preserves clarity across the entire 70cm-to-infinity focusing range. With its fast f/2 aperture, this manual-focus M-mount lens performs brilliantly in challenging light and offers superior depth-of-field control. The compact form factor makes it an ideal everyday companion, complemented by an integrated extendable hood and 39mm filter compatibility for creative flexibility.

Key Features:

  • Apochromatic design employs three elements made from anomalous partial color dispersion glass, as well as two high refractive index elements, in order to suppress chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range for increased color accuracy and clarity.
  • One aspherical element reduces spherical aberrations for improved sharpness from edge to edge.
  • A floating element is used to maintain clarity and sharpness throughout the focusing range, from 70cm to infinity.
  • In addition to the apochromatic designation, this lens also pairs a Gaussian type optical construction in front of the aperture along with a design resembling the Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 behind the aperture, in order to significantly reduce distortion while also increasing overall sharpness and consistent illumination.
  • Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field.
  • Compact overall design is ideal for use in everyday shooting situations.
  • Manual focus design provides a minimum focusing distance of 70cm with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:11.3.
  • Built-in extendable lens hood shades and protects the front element to reduce lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, the front of the lens is threaded to accept 39mm screw-in filters.
