This lens offers exceptional image quality with its apochromatic design, minimising chromatic aberrations for accurate colours and clarity. Its compact form and bright f/2 aperture make it perfect for everyday use and low-light situations. The lens maintains sharpness across the focus range, and manual focus control allows for precise adjustments. Additionally, the built-in extendable lens hood reduces flare, while the threaded front accepts filters for creative flexibility.
The metal gray APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. Lens from Leica is a fast standard prime characterized by its apochromatic designation. Featuring anomalous partial dispersion and high-refractive-index glass in its design, this lens focuses red, green, and blue wavelengths at the same focal plane, virtually eliminating chromatic aberrations. One aspherical element is also featured in the design to reduce spherical aberrations, and a floating element maintains clarity and sharpness throughout the focusing range from 2.3' to infinity. This compact 50mm lens is also distinguished by its compact form factor, making it ideal for everyday use. Like all M-mount lenses, this 50mm f/2 features a manual focus design and a convenient focusing tab for more refined control during use.
Apochromatic design employs three elements made from anomalous partial color dispersion glass, as well as two high refractive index elements, in order to suppress chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range for increased color accuracy and clarity.
This lens also pairs a Gaussian type optical construction in front of the aperture along with a design resembling the Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 behind the aperture, in order to significantly reduce distortion while also increasing overall sharpness and consistent illumination.
