Leica Summilux-M 50mm f /1.4 ASPH Lens - 11891
A combination of the know-how of Leica's engineers and the latest developments
in manufacturing technology has resulted in this outstanding standard lens.
It delivers high-contrast images, with high-resolution detail, even at its widest
aperture, and down to its minimum focusing distance. This is made possible by
a number of factors including the use of a floating element, special glass types
with unique refraction properties, and elements with aspherical surfaces. The
properties of this lens not only make it ideal for any photo situation demanding
a handy all-rounder with the natural image angle of the 50 mm standard focal
length, but also for available light situations, selective-focus shots, and
even fine art photography - usually the preserve of much larger formats. Its
wide-ranging versatility also makes it a top choice in assembling a Leica M
lens outfit.
Leica Camera AG has unveiled a new highspeed standard lens for the Leica M
System offering maximum imaging performance: the new LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50mm f/1.4
ASPH. It supersedes the predecessor lens with the same speed, which, notwithstanding
a few minor modifications, had been part of our range since 1962. . The aim
of this new development was to create a reference lens to push the technical
boundaries of photography using standard focal lengths into new dimensions.
The LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. delivers virtually the same outstanding
performance throughout all apertures and focus settings. Whether using selective
focus at close range. high-contrast available light applications or an extended
depth of field to capture landscapes, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH.
handles every situation with ease.. It therefore delivers on its promise to
be a genuine universal lens in impressive fashion. Every innovation currently
available in lens technology – aspherical lenses, glass with anomalous partical
dispersion, glass with a high refraction index and a floating element- have
been combined to create a lens that sets the new standard in this focal length
class.
