This lens offers exceptional versatility with its improved design and optics, making it ideal for various photography conditions. The fast f/1.4 aperture excels in low light and allows precise depth of field control. Enhanced sharpness and contrast cater to high-resolution sensors, while smoother bokeh is achieved via the 11-blade diaphragm. Its compact, lightweight build includes a retractable lens hood, and the improved minimum focusing distance enhances close-up capabilities.
Featuring a redesigned housing and updated optics, the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. is a fresh take on a beloved focal length. Inherently one of the most versatile lenses, this updated 50mm f/1.4 has an improved minimum focusing distance of 1.5', a new 11-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh, and an updated lens body that matches the Summilux-M 35mm's sleek and lightweight design along with a built-in, retractable lens hood.
As part of the Summilux class, this 50mm f/1.4 lens is characterized by its high-speed performance that benefits both low-light usage along with greater control over depth of field.
Beyond updated optics, this lens also sports a refreshed external design that matches other refreshed Summilux-M lenses, like the 35mm f/1.4.
The minimum focusing distance has been improved from 2.3' to 1.5' to take advantage of the lens's use in conjunction with cameras that feature live view or when working with the Visoflex or Leica FOTOS app. Rangefinder focusing is still only supported down to 2.3'; live view focusing must be used between 2.3' and 1.5'.
