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 $4,195 to $5,500 at the 6 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $2,595. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $3,595 to $4,195 new. It launched at $4,495.
