Brand Leica System Leica M

The Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH in Metal Gray brings the definitive 50mm M optic together with a distinctive anodized gray finish. Apochromatic correction virtually eliminates color fringing for reference-grade sharpness and contrast, edge to edge and wide open at f/2, on the highest-resolution M sensors.

A floating element holds that quality down to 0.7m, and a compact 8-element design with a built-in retractable hood keeps it discreet. If you want the best 50mm M lens in a finish that stands apart, our team can pair the Metal Gray version with the right M body.

Buy from an authorized Leica dealer like Camera West to ensure a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and expert support.

The 50mm Benchmark

Apochromatic correction brings all colors to a common point of focus, virtually eliminating chromatic aberration and color fringing. The result is reference-grade contrast and resolution, corner to corner, wide open, on today's most demanding M sensors.

Performance to the Closest Focus

A floating element keeps image quality at its peak from infinity to the 0.7m minimum focusing distance, with distortion held to roughly 0.4% so lines stay true.

Metal Gray Finish

This version wears Leica's Metal Gray anodized finish, hand-assembled in Germany from brass and aluminum. A compact 8-element, 5-group design, built-in retractable hood and E39 filter thread keep it beautifully balanced on any M body.
