Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. overview
The Leica Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. is a 50mm f/1.4 prime for full-frame cameras on Leica M, announced by Leica in April 2023. 10 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for fast-moving subjects.
New, it sells for A$7,690 to A$8,279.10 at the 2 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at A$5,990.
Worth comparing it with the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH. and Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/0.95 ASPH..
