The standard lens for natural perspectives: This fast lens has a natural image angle that corresponds to a human eye view and is ideal for available-light situations, selective-focus shots. It delivers high-contrast images with high-resolution detail - even at its widest aperture, or down to its minimum focusing distance.
The Strengths of the 50 mm Leica M-Lens
Exceptionally Versatile
We have been developing outstanding tools offering optical precision for over 150 years. Masterpieces that we take one step further by incorporating state-of-the-art technologies into their design. The extremely versatile Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. standard lens was also developed to provide outstanding image quality along with optimum flexibility and freedom when taking photographs. Its high-end technology utilises the full performance potential of new camera sensors and creates images that are characterised by their exceptionally high-contrast and detail. This can be achieved in almost every photographic situation. With almost any ambient light.
Focus on the world, from 45cm to eternity
With its close focus distance of 45 centimetres, the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. allows you to take extreme close-ups. This is made possible by a double cam gear unit specially developed by our engineers, which greatly increases the distance ring’s range of rotation compared to the previous model. It also facilitates extremely comfortable and convenient focusing over the entire adjustment range, especially in the extended close-up range. For distances down to 70 centimetres, as usual, focusing is handled by the rangefinder. The range between 70 and 40 centimetres can be precisely focused via Live View on the display screen, the Visoflex clip-on viewfinder, or the Leica FOTOS App.
Hassle-free photography
With its unchanged compact dimensions and weighing just 337 grams, the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. is light as a feather. But the images this small lens delivers are more than mighty. Compared to the previous model, eleven instead of nine diaphragm blades now ensure an even rounder bokeh and the unmistakable Leica look. The lens hood, which has a modern, round design, offers even greater flexibility. It is integrated into the lens and can be put on and off in a simple turning motion.
Design of the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH.
The Leica Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. is one of the most advanced 50 mm fixed focal lengths for the M-System, combining classic Leica image aesthetics with state-of-the-art optical precision. Thanks to an elaborate design of eight lenses in five assemblies, including an aspherical lens, it delivers impressive sharpness across the entire image field, as well as a wonderfully creamy bokeh. With its lens speed of f/1.4, it is perfect for available light photography. It also ensures harmonious separation of subjects for expert portraits, street and documentary photography.
