A MASTERPIECE: THE BEST 50MM F/1.4 EVER Leica Camera AG has unveiled a new high speed standard lens for the Leica M System offering maximum imaging performance: the new LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. It supersedes the predecessor lens with the same speed, which, notwithstanding a few minor modifications, had been part of Leica’s range since 1962. The aim of this new development was to create a reference lens to push the technical boundaries of photography using standard focal lengths into new dimensions. The LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50mmf/1.4 ASPH. Delivers virtually the same outstanding performance throughout all apertures and focus settings. Whether using selective focus at close range, high-contrast available light applications or an extended depth of field to capture landscapes, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Handles every situation with ease. It therefore delivers on its promise to be a genuine universal lens in impressive fashion. Every innovation currently available in lens t...

OUT-PERFORMS THE HUMAN EYES The LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH offers a unique range of features. A noticeably (11%) higher speed has been achievedin a body with almost the same diameter and only very slightly longer than its predecessor, the Noctilux-M 50mm f/1. At thesame time, its rendition quality significantly exceeds that of its predecessor, while retaining the typical, slightly soft reproductionof the previous lens. Even at full stop, the LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50mm ASPH f/0.95 demonstrates excellent reproduction quality,which only deteriorates slightly towards the edges - while the slightly smaller format of the Leica M8 models only capture less ofthese areas anyway. Stopping down brings a continuous significant improvement in performance, up to an exceptional level overthe entire image field at 5.6. Even in the close-up range, this performance is largely retained thanks to a "floating element".The strikingly low degree of vignetting for such a high speed lens is a maxi...
