By refining the classical focal length of 50mm, this Leica lens stands as a fast standard prime that provides sharp, clean contrast over the entire field of view. It features an f2 maximum aperture to adapt to low-light shooting and offers much greater control over the depth of field. This Summicron-M 50mm lens is constructed from six elements in four key groups - achieving superb brightness and sharpness throughout the full-frame. Distortion is further minimised for improved natural rendering, applicable to street, portraiture and journalist-style image-making. Its manual focus design is ideal for shooting subjects as close as 0.7m, whilst the built-in expandable lens hood effectively prevents lens flare and ghosting. If its high-quality, stylised performance that you require at a slightly more accessible price - look no further than this 50mm f2 prime.
As a high-performance prime with an emphasis on vivid colour, compact usability, and the rendition of every detail - the Leica 50mm f2 is an ideal travel companion for lifestyle photographers. The bright f2 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions, whilst the manual focus design affords much greater control over the depth of field. This specific model is the predecessor to the Leica 50mm f2 APO-Summicron-M lens - standing as a more accessible 50mm for freelance photographers and still-image artists.
It is close in design to that of a wide-angle lens but without the distortion, lending itself to street, portraiture and landscape photography. This 50mm f2 is able to ensure natural rendition in any and all photographic situations, utilising a built-in extendable lens hood that shades and protects the front element for reduced flare and ghosting. The lens front is also threaded to accept 39mm screw-in filters.
The Leica M portfolio is a collection of lenses developed to fulfil the most stringent quality demands for both digital and analogue photography. Their image quality is second-to-none, pairing effortlessly with Leica’s range of compatible high-resolution camera systems. M-mount lenses were first made famous by street photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and Sebastiao Salgado. Unrivalled in resolution, contrast, structure, tonal depth, and overall performance - the Leica M-mount range consists of a special breed of camera lens.
This Leica 50mm f2 stands as its predecessor. The advanced APO (Apochromatic) lens employs three intricately crafted elements that are constructed from anomalous partial colour dispersion glass and two high refractive index elements. In short, this ensures the minimisation of chromatic aberration, further providing detailed colour accuracy and clarity throughout the full aperture range.
The Leica 50mm f2 Summicron-M lens would complement the Leica M10-R Digital Camera Body. This combination would be an ideal go-to for lifestyle photographers who wish to grow their Leica M-mount collection without the added expense of the 50mm f2 APO-Summicron-M lens.
Yes, the front of the lens is threaded to allow for additional screw-in filters.
