Maintaining Leica's impeccable performance and image quality, Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux-M Asph Lens is equipped with an array of features that provide complete flexibility, versatility and professionalism. This prime lens, designed for use with M-Mount Leica camera bodies, features a classic 50mm focal length that is characterised by its wide, bright and fast f1.4 aperture and advanced optical makeup. The lens structure features 8 glass elements, arranged in 5 groups including 1 Aspherical and 1 floating glass element. Together, this structure significantly reduces spherical aberrations and increases image quality. Additionally, anomalous partial dispersion and high refractive index glasses control overall colour fringing and chromatic aberrations.

Expanded Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux-M Asph Lens Key Features:

Meticulous Construction As per any Leica lens, there is a huge level of detail and consideration that's pooled into lens optic construction and ways in which the intricate structure is then able to capture the incredible image quality that is expected from Leica equipment. The Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux-M Asph Lens is equipped with a sophisticated array of 8 glass elements that are placed in 5 groups. This includes the use of one Aspherical and one floating glass element, as well as the addition of anomalous partial dispersion glass and high refractive index glass. Together, these elements have a lasting effect, effectively controlling distortions, spherical and chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture/focusing range. In addition, the floating element placed at the rear of the lens is used to maintain consistent performance throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum 70cm focusing distance. Leica Performance An advanced lens construction is one thing, but to wear the Leica logo, a lens needs to exhibit the professional performance and usability seen across the brand. This lens is afforded a wide, bright, fast and versatile aperture range from f1.4 to f16. This range provides three main benefits. The wide f1.4 aperture allows you the freedom to shoot in low light conditions. Where other lenses may struggle, this lens will allow you to continue shooting when light levels fade, and will still provide stunning quality. Second, having the option to play with a wide aperture range allows for enhanced creative control over depth of field and selective focus. And finally, the way in which the aperture blade diaphragm is made, combined with the maximum f1.4 will provide that unmistakable Leica Bokeh effect in your defocused areas. Of course, thanks to the structure of the lens elements, image quality is ensured throughout the aperture range.. Usability As mentioned, usability is another area that must tick the boxes to achieve the Leica stamp. The lens is compact and pleasingly tactile. The manual focusing ring is smooth and precise, which will allow you to frame and capture your images exactly as you envision them. To further the convenience of this lens, it has a built-in extendable lens hood that shades and protects the front element, resulting in reduced lens flare and ghosting.
