The Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 is a modern reimagining of a legendary M-System lens, bringing a historic optical design into the present with cutting-edge precision. As the newest addition to Leica’s Classic Line, this lens captures the signature vintage aesthetic while leveraging state-of-the-art technology.
Originally introduced in 1959, the Summilux name—derived from the Latin “summa lux” meaning “maximum light”—has been synonymous with Leica’s exceptionally fast f/1.4 lenses. This latest version is based on the second-generation Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 (1962-2004), a lens renowned for its beautifully soft bokeh at wide apertures and exceptional sharpness when stopped down. Thanks to modern production techniques, updated glass elements, and refined coatings, this lens offers even better optical performance while staying true to the character of its predecessor.
The new Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 is designed for both photographers and videographers, delivering incredible rendering with extended creative potential. Its closest focusing distance has been improved to 0.7 meters, allowing for greater versatility when framing subjects. Made in Germany from solid brass, this lens features a timeless design, including a high-quality round vintage lens hood that integrates seamlessly into its construction.
Perfect for capturing images with a unique cinematic quality, the Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 is a must-have for those who appreciate Leica’s heritage of precision engineering and artistic expression.
