Summilux-SL 50 f/1.4 ASPH. overview

New, it sells for $4,950 to $7,055 at the 2 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $3,395. It launched at $5,295.
Worth comparing it with the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 50mm F1.4, Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art and Sigma 50mm F1.2 DG DN | Art.
