Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Chrome

Originally introduced in 1959, this standard lens is making a grand return, enjoying a renaissance as it joins the Leica Classic Line. Through meticulous refinements, the iconic design of its predecessor is seamlessly merged with the advanced demands of contemporary digital photography. It is defined by its speed, image quality and, most notably, its signature bokeh when shooting with a wide aperture. The close focusing limit of 0.7 m will enable you to create striking photographs and distinctive portraits. The new edition comes with a round lens hood that emphasizes its timeless, vintage look.

The fastest standard lens from the Classic Line.

Our reinterpretation of the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 marks the rebirth of a legend. It combines classic, vintage design with state-of-the-art technology. Traditional charm meets the high demands of modern photography.

Timeless Aesthetics

The Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 has been developed based on its legendary predecessor. The new version of this standard lens is also made by hand out of solid brass and equipped with a removable, round lens hood. This protects the lens, minimizes glare and lens flares, and emphasizes the vintage look. The aesthetics of this classic lens form a perfect symbiosis with a Leica M-Camera, both visually and technically.

'Made in Germany' Quality

The reinterpretation is based on optical calculation for the second Summilux-M 50 f/1.4, which was produced between 1962 and 2004 with very few modifications. Meticulously crafted from 105 individual components, this optical masterpiece is the result of carefully considered refinements. Seven lenses, manufactured from advanced types of glass and arranged in five groups, reproduce subjects at a close focusing distance of only 0.7 m, delivering the impeccable quality expected from a lens bearing the “Made in Germany” designation. Furthermore, its twelve aperture blades ensure an exceptionally smooth and harmonious bokeh.
