A Timeless Classic, Reimagined
A New Chapter in Leica’s Legacy
The Leica SUMMILUX-M 50 f/1.4 in Silver Chrome Finish is a tribute to Leica’s unparalleled craftsmanship and rich optical heritage. As part of the Leica Classic Line, this newly reinterpreted masterpiece combines the iconic vintage look with modern optical advancements, delivering an unrivaled bokeh and image character.
Unparalleled Optical Performance
The SUMMILUX-M 50 f/1.4 is built upon the optical foundation of the legendary Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 (II), which was produced from 1962 to 2004. This lens is renowned for its soft and unique bokeh when used wide open, making it ideal for portrait photography and artistic compositions. At smaller apertures, it offers increased sharpness and contrast, delivering outstanding results with modern high-resolution M-System cameras.
Precision Craftsmanship & Vintage Aesthetic
Leica’s commitment to excellence is reflected in the meticulous craftsmanship of the SUMMILUX-M 50 f/1.4. Handcrafted from solid brass, this lens embodies Leica’s dedication to longevity and premium quality. The round vintage-style lens hood complements the classic design, making it not only a high-performance lens but also a collector’s piece.
Extended Creative Freedom
Compared to its historic predecessor, the new SUMMILUX-M 50 f/1.4 expands creative possibilities with an enhanced close focusing distance of 0.7m. This allows photographers to capture intricate details with stunning depth and clarity, pushing the limits of their visual storytelling.
Sustainability & Innovation
Leica introduces a new chapter in sustainable packaging with this lens. The high-quality packaging of the SUMMILUX-M 50 f/1.4 is entirely plastic-free and made in Germany, underlining Leica’s commitment to eco-friendly practices without compromising on luxury and durability.
