The 2023 version of the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens blends classic appeal with modern enhancements for rangefinder systems. With a nuanced optical composition that elevates sharpness and an aesthetically pleasing blur, this prime lens also boasts a more compact profile paralleling the 35mm variant, complete with an expanding lens hood.

The latest rendition of Leica's well-regarded 50mm lens showcases an overhauled exterior and enriched imaging quality. Renowned for its versatility, the new 50mm f/1.4 features excellent close-up capability down to 1.5 feet, an 11-blade aperture for refined bokeh, and a lighter body with a built-in hood that complements its sibling, the Summilux-M 35mm.

Redesigned Classic Optics

Visual fidelity and creative control define this Summilux class lens, with a fast f/1.4 aperture for adept performance in dim settings and depth-of-field management. The cutting-edge optical structure delivers a marked increase in resolution and has been optimized for the latest sensor technologies, featuring an aspherical element to reduce aberrational distortions. The redesigned aperture enhances out-of-focus areas with its round bokeh.

High-Performing Summilux Lens

Updated with a contemporary exterior akin to other modern Summilux-M lenses, such as the 35mm f/1.4, this 50mm permits closer focusing to 1.5' in live view mode, perfect for users utilizing the Visoflex or Leica FOTOS application, although traditional rangefinder focusing is available down to 2.3'. The compact and inconspicuous retracting hood simplifies operation, and the familiar M bayonet connections, complete with 6-bit coding, ensure compatibility with all M-mount rangefinder cameras.
