Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH Black Chrome Lens revisits the classic design of its predecessor from 1959. This Summilux-M produces extraordinary image quality, high contrast and great resolution over the entire aperture range. This limited edition Summicron-M lens has a very unique, matte-look, solid brass design and the focusing scale in feet in coloured in red. Includes a round metal lens hood and a metal lens cap. The 50mm Leica Summilux lens is a combination of Leica's engineering know-how, and the latest developments in manufacturing technology. This has resulted in this outstanding standard lens. It delivers high-contrast images with high-resolution detail, even at its widest aperture, and right down to its minimum focusing distance. This is made possible by a number of factors including the use of a floating element, special glass types with unique refraction properties and elements with aspherical surfaces. The properties of this lens make it ideal for any photo situation demanding a useful all-rounder lens, with the natural image angle of the 50 mm standard focal length. This lens is ideal for available light situations, selective-focus shots, and even fine art photography. Its wide-ranging versatility also makes it a top choice for any Leica M lens outfit.
