Leica Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens

The Leica Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens sets a new standard for creative photography and videography. Built as the second generation of this iconic focal length, it delivers exceptional optical performance with a fast f/1.4 aperture that excels in low-light environments while producing a soft, natural bokeh reminiscent of the Summilux-M 50mm. The versatile 50mm perspective makes it perfect for portraits, still life, product work, and travel photography. A refined, more compact and lightweight design enhances portability without compromising optical excellence.

Signature Rendering with Creative Depth

Rather than pursuing clinical perfection alone, the 50mm f/1.4 is engineered to create images with depth, atmosphere, and visual impact. Wide open at f/1.4, it produces natural soft bokeh and striking subject separation that immediately draws attention to the focal point. The lens's characteristic edge rendering contributes to a sense of dimensionality and expressiveness, giving images a distinctive look that feels immersive and organic. As aperture settings are stopped down, exceptional sharpness reveals fine textures and intricate details while preserving the lens's unique visual signature.

Fast Autofocus Built for Modern Workflows

The 50mm f/1.4 introduces an advanced focusing architecture designed for speed, precision, and discretion. Its fast and quiet Voice Coil Motor (VCM) Drive moves the focusing group with exceptional efficiency, utilizing a moving mass of approximately 45 grams and acceleration of roughly 40 metres per second. The result is highly responsive autofocus performance that keeps pace with dynamic shooting environments while maintaining the smooth, unobtrusive operation demanded by both photographers and video creators.

Precision Engineering in Every Detail

The compact dimensions of the 50mm f/1.4 are made possible through advanced manufacturing techniques and Leica's expertise in optical design. Two in-house produced aspherical elements, premium glass types, and eleven aperture blades work together to create outstanding image quality from a close focusing distance of just 50cm. Optical distortion is minimized through lens design and can be easily corrected digitally when required.

• Housed within a precision-crafted full-metal body, the lens is protected against dust and water splashes to IP54 standards.
• AquaDura coating adds additional resilience in demanding conditions.
