Leica M Summicron 50mm f2 collapsible lens
Description:
Few lenses are as easy to carry as the collapsible Summicron. Made from 1953 to 1960, it was the very first Summicron and the lens that set the standard for every Leica 50mm that followed. This copy dates from 1956 and is M mount. Its render is the reason Leica shooters still seek it out: lower contrast than modern glass, rich shadow detail and soft highlights, with a gentle glow at f2 that turns very sharp from f5.6. This copy is a great one, with very clean glass and a smooth aperture. Pushed in, it makes your Leica small enough to fit in a coat pocket, and its chrome finish is a perfect match for an M3 or M2.
