Widely regarded as the finest standard lens of its kind, the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. pairs apochromatic correction with an aspherical surface across eight elements to deliver sharpness that holds up on even the highest-resolution M sensors. Color fringing and aberrations are suppressed wide open, giving you neutral tonality and dependable rendering in any light.

For you, it is the do-everything 50 for portraits, reportage, and daily shooting, with an f/2 aperture that separates your subject against a soft, unobtrusive background. Handmade in Germany from brass and aluminum and finished with 6-bit coding, it's a lens our team recommends without hesitation.

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