What's Included
The perfect option for portrait photography, the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Lens offers a classic vintage look and an enhanced optical design suitable for M-mount cameras. This manual-focus lens is capable of producing a beautiful, soft bokeh at wider apertures, while also capturing sharp and detailed images when stopped down. Similar to other Summilux lenses, this one stands out for its wide maximum aperture of f/1.4, making it a reliable choice for shooting in low light conditions.
Redesign of a Classic
Crafted to replicate the unique bokeh produced from the original version of this lens released in 1959, this modernized rendition incorporates the latest manufacturing techniques, glass elements, and lens coatings to ensure excellent optical performance. This lens marks the fifth addition to the Leica Classic Line and is the first in the brand's newly designed packaging.
Superb Build Quality
Handcrafted with technical precision in Germany, this prime lens features a sturdy brass construction and sleek chrome-plated surface finish. Weighing only 417g, it is durable and compact, measuring 58mm in diameter and 45mm in length.
Additional Lens Benefits
- The included vintage lens hood prevents unwanted light from entering the lens and offers added protection against accidental impacts.
- The optical design features 7 elements in 5 groups as well as a 12-bladed diaphragm for producing high-quality images and improved bokeh.
- The front of the lens is threaded to accept 46mm screw-in filters.
