Summilux-SL 50 f/1.4 ASPH. overview
The Leica Summilux-SL 50 f/1.4 ASPH. is a 50mm f/1.4 prime for full-frame cameras on L-Mount, announced by Leica in December 2016. 24 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light.
No store we track in the United Kingdom has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at £2,367.70. It launched at £4,080.
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.
