Brand Leica System Leica M

This Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH pairs Leica's reference optical design with a silver chrome finish, assembled at Leica's facility in Portugal. Optically it is the full Summilux experience: 8 elements in 5 groups with an aspherical surface, high contrast wide open, and the signature rendering that has made the 50mm Summilux the standard against which other fast fifties are measured.

With an 11-blade diaphragm for round, soft bokeh and close focusing to 0.45 m, it is a lens you can live on for portraits, reportage, and everyday shooting. Talk to our team about matching it to your M body and the right protective filter.

The Reference Standard 50mm

The Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH is regarded as the benchmark fast standard lens for the M system, with an 8-element, 5-group design and an aspherical surface that delivers outstanding contrast and resolution corner to corner, even wide open.

Beautifully Rounded Bokeh

An 11-blade click-stop diaphragm keeps the aperture rounder as you stop down for smooth, natural background rendering, while half-stop lock settings provide precise exposure control.

Focus Closer Than Ever

A double-cam gear unit extends close focus to 0.45 m. The rangefinder couples to 0.7 m, and the 0.7-0.45 m range can be composed via Live View, the Visoflex, or the Leica FOTOS app.

Silver Chrome Craftsmanship

The silver chrome finish is a durable, classic treatment that complements silver M bodies. This example is hand-assembled to the same exacting optical standard as every Leica Summilux.
