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.
No store we track in the United Kingdom lists it today. It is listed in the United States, Australia and Singapore.
Worth comparing it with the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH. and Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/0.95 ASPH..
