Leica's legendary fast 50mm for M — the Summilux f/1.4 across multiple versions spanning decades.

The Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 is a fast normal prime for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras, one of the most produced Leica M lenses across multiple optical generations. The Summilux designation indicates f/1.4 maximum aperture in the Leica naming scheme. Leica M mount.

f/1.4 maximum aperture. 50mm focal length. Leica M mount. Manual focus with rangefinder coupling. Multiple optical generations produced from 1959 onward, including pre-ASPH and ASPH (aspherical element) versions. Filter thread varies by generation.

The Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 spans several distinct optical designs: early pre-ASPH versions (various element groups), the later ASPH version (current production, aspherical element for significantly improved wide-open performance), and intermediate versions. The non-ASPH versions show characteristic wide-open softness and longitudinal chromatic aberration; the ASPH version is notably sharper at f/1.4. Generation identification is by serial number range.

On the used market the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 commands premium pricing across all generations. Condition checks: rangefinder coupling cam for wear, front element and coatings for marks or coating separation (common in aged examples), focus ring smoothness, aperture blade condition. The ASPH version carries a significant premium over pre-ASPH. Confirm generation before purchase.
