Leica Summicron-M 1:2.50

📝 Description

The Summicron-M 50 mm f/2, item number 11826, is a compact, fast classic in the Leica M system, crafted from robust black anodised metal. Its aspherical optics deliver impressive sharpness right to the edges of the image and excellent contrast across the entire image field, even at wide-open aperture. Even when shooting against the light, it remains relatively flare-free thanks to its integrated, extendable lens hood

It is particularly popular with street, reportage and portrait photographers as a virtually universal ‘always-on’ lens – small, light, discreet and powerful

A particular advantage of this model is that it features a built-in, telescopic lens hood – unlike its almost identical predecessor, the 11819, which instead has a focus tab. Optically, they are identical
