Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Lens - Silver Chrome Finish (2025 Version)

A reinterpretation of a legendary, fast M-Lens combining a classic vintage look with state-of-the-art technology.

The Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Lens offers impressive quickness, exceptional image clarity, and unique bokeh when used at wide apertures. With a close focusing distance of 27.5in (0.7m), it allows for striking photographs and one-of-a-kind portraits. The latest version retains its timeless, vintage appearance, complete with a rounded lens hood.

The fast standard lens from the Classic Line

Our reinterpretation of the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 marks the rebirth of a legend. It combines classic, vintage design with state-of-the-art technology. Traditional charm meets the high demands of modern photography.

 Striking Shots and Unparalleled Portraits

This legendary lens will inspire you with its image quality and picturesque bokeh when shooting with a wide aperture. At the same time, it delivers precise focus and striking contrast when stopped down. The Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 invites you to explore the interplay of sharpness and blur, offering you boundless opportunities to express yourself creatively.

Timeless Aesthetics

The Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 has been developed based on its legendary predecessor. The new version of this standard lens is also made by hand out of solid brass and equipped with a removable, round lens hood. This protects the lens, minimises glare and lens flares, and emphasises the vintage look. The aesthetics of this classic lens form a perfect symbiosis with a Leica M-Camera, both visually and technically.

Unmatched – Since 1959

We introduced the first Summilux lens back in 1959. The name ‘Summilux’ is derived from the Latin ‘summa lux’, meaning ‘maximum light’. Since then, Summilux has been synonymous with our particularly fast lenses. The Summilux-M normal lens, with its focal length of 50 mm, is the prime lens for many photographers worldwide, and has captured countless iconic pictures throughout the history of photography.

“Made in Germany” Quality

The reinterpretation is based on optical calculation for the second Summilux-M 50 f/1.4, which was produced between 1962 and 2004 with very few modifications. Meticulously crafted from 105 individual components, this optical masterpiece is the result of carefully considered refinements. Seven lenses, manufactured from advanced types of glass and arranged in five groups, reproduce subjects at a close focusing distance of only 0.7 m, delivering the impeccable quality expected from a lens bearing the ‘Made in Germany’ designation. Furthermore, its twelve aperture blades ensure an exceptionally smooth and harmonious bokeh.
