The f\/1.4 lens speed brings out the distinctive Leica image character, providing exceptional subject isolation and bokeh, imbuing images with unmistakable depth. The Summilux-SL 50 f\/1.4 ASPH. combines this performance with a design that creates a masterful unit when used with Leica SL3 cameras. Manufactured in Germany, it combines the finest craftsmanship with optical engineering — an exceptionally compact full-frame lens that can focus from as close as 50 cm, demonstrating its strengths in everything from spontaneous travel moments to carefully staged portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWide Aperture, Full of Character\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its maximum lens speed of f\/1.4, the Summilux-SL reveals its distinctive character. The bokeh appears naturally soft, while the high contrast defining the in-focus area draws the eye directly to the subject. Portraits gain depth, travel photos are infused with atmosphere, and reportage photos are enriched with context and clear composition. When the aperture is stopped down, a second strength becomes apparent: the ability to capture the finest details with brilliance and consistent imaging performance across the entire image field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eFast Focus, Always in Balance\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing 20 ounces, it is designed to be used with Leica SL3 cameras, creating a balanced center of gravity for steady handling. The precision voice-coil motor executes focus commands quickly and almost silently. Once the camera is switched on, the focus group is electromagnetically stabilized and guided with precision. This design enables focusing performance that cannot be achieved with conventional mechanical systems, representing high-performance technology in its most compact form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Summilux-SL 50 f\/1.4 ASPH. consists of 11 glass elements in six groups. The aspherical elements are manufactured using the in-house PGM process, whereby aberrations are already corrected during the initial optical calculation. The 11-blade aperture ensures smooth transitions in out-of-focus areas and is electronically controlled. When used with SL-Cameras, the black anodized aluminum body forms a unit that is sealed against dust and splash water in accordance with the IP54 standard. The lens is designed for long and intensive use, with an E67 filter thread and a metal lens hood included in the scope of supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53409353466219,"sku":"LI11195","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3256\/2235\/files\/11195_Leica_Summilux-SL_50_f_1_4_angular_HiRes.jpg?v=1782135609","url":"https:\/\/camerawest.com\/products\/leica-sl-50mm-f1-4-summilux-sl-asph","provider":"Camera West","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
