Leica M Summilux v2 50mm f1.4 lens - First year serial
Description:
This Summilux is the lens to reach for when the light starts to fade. This copy is an early second version from 1961, the first year of the improved optical design that Leica kept making for over thirty years. Wide open at f1.4 it draws with the classic Summilux glow, soft highlights and smooth background blur that flatter portraits and night scenes. Close it down to f2.8 and it becomes crisp and clear, ready for street and travel. Our copy is in great shape, with very clean glass and a smooth aperture. Compact and built in solid chrome brass, it is a lens Leica shooters keep for life.
