The Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens combines redesigned housing with refined optics for a versatile standard focal length. This updated version delivers an improved 45cm minimum focusing distance, an 11-blade diaphragm for creamy bokeh rendering, and a lightweight body matching the Summilux-M 35mm aesthetic. A built-in retractable lens hood completes this refined package for M-mount rangefinder photography.

Summilux

As part of the Summilux class, this 50mm f/1.4 lens is characterized by its high-speed performance that benefits both low-light usage along with greater control over depth of field.

  • Updated optical design is better tuned to newer high-resolution sensors and produces greater sharpness, resolution, and contrast.
  • One aspherical element minimizes spherical aberrations and distortion for highly accurate rendering.
  • New 11-blade diaphragm produces more visually round bokeh when working at middle aperture values.

M-Mount Lens Design

Beyond updated optics, this lens also sports a refreshed external design that matches other refreshed Summilux-M lenses, like the 35mm f/1.4.

  • The minimum focusing distance has been improved from 70cm to 45cm to take advantage of the lens's use in conjunction with cameras that feature live view or when working with the Visoflex or Leica FOTOS app. Rangefinder focusing is still only supported down to 70cm; live view focusing must be used between 70cm and 45cm.
  • Integrated retractable lens hood design eliminates the need to carry an auxiliary hood.
  • Compact design measures 59 x 59mm and the lens weighs just under 340g.
  • Conventional M bayonet lens mount, with 6-bit encoding, enables using this lens on any M-mount rangefinder camera.
