The Leica Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 belongs to Leica’s Classic Line, a collection that revisits some of the company’s most important and characterful lenses while updating them for modern production and contemporary digital cameras.
It is important to clarify exactly what this lens is, because its appearance could easily lead someone to assume that it is merely the current Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. housed within a more traditional barrel. That is not the case.
