Leica’s legacy in lens craftsmanship spans over 150 years, marked by pioneering innovation and timeless design. Throughout this history, Leica has introduced numerous groundbreaking lenses, many of which have become icons in photography. One such legend is making a grand return: the new Leica Summilux-M 50 f/1.4.
Originally introduced in 1959, the Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 was the first lens to bear the now-iconic 'Summilux' name, derived from the Latin summa lux, meaning ‘maximum light.’ Over the decades, Summilux lenses have become synonymous with exceptional speed and performance, with apertures ranging from f/1.4 to f/1.7.
