LEICA M 50MM SUMMICRON FULL

The focusing helicoid is machined from brass. The barrel that allows one finger focusing. Turns very smoothly and there is a fingertip focusing lever on the underside of Physically, the 50mm f/2 Summicron-M is one of the smallestДЄnd lightest of the current M system lenses. Than the standard 50mm Summicron-M, which is why both 50mm Summicron-M lenses Of course, with a 2012 MSRP of $7195, it is much more expensive Not used the new 50mm f/2 APO-Summicron-M ASPH, said to be the finest standard My all time favorite is the Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron-M. Nikkor, 50mm f/1.4 Canon FD, 55mm f/2 SMC Takunar and 58mm f/1.4 Rokkor, among others. Over the years, I have used and tested many fine standard lenses, including theД¤0mm f/2 Summicron-C, 50mm f/2.8 Elmar, 50mm f/2 Summicron-R, 50mm f/2 AI Nikkor, 50mm f/1.8 AF

Qualities, equally suitable for Leica M 35mm film cameras or the full frame M9 digital camera. Speed, size, weight and price.' It is a perfect balance of these Statement that the 50mm f/2 Summicron-M delivers excellent 'image quality, The 50mm Summicron-M's diagonal field of view is 47-degrees. I am a fan of standard focal length lenses, because theyДeliver a natural perspective for landscapes, as well as for full length pictures of people or Including image quality, speed, size, weight and price.' Makes this ideal standard lens an outstanding choice in terms of all criteria, Stopping down to f/2.8 or f/4 brings only a minimal increase in contrast.Дistortion is extremely low and practically invisible. Outstanding contrast throughout, at all apertures, even at close distances. Provides for a perfection of picture quality extending all the way to theД®xtreme corners of the image field even at full aperture, as well as 'The tried and well-proven optical design of this lens Leica calls it, 'A venerable standard at the top of its form.' They go on to state: It weighs 65 grams less than its predecessor. Second and third groups being cemented pairs. This fourth generation modified Gauss design uses six elements in four groups, with the Time using computer assisted lens design, which was a technology pioneered by In 1979 the 50mm f/2 Summicron-M was again updated, this To weigh 260 grams, 25 grams lighter than the previous version. In conjunction with the reduced number of glass elements, allowed the new lens The lens barrel was machined from black anodized aluminum, which By taking advantage of new optical glasses, the number ofД®lements was reduced to six in five groups, with the second group being theД¬emented pair. Lightweight,Д¬ompact M-series lenses have always been a priority and the new design made Modified Gauss design, but included significant improvements. The third generation 50mm f/2 Summicron-M, introduced in 1969, remained a Lens by which all 'standard' lenses for 35mm cameras are judged to this day. The 50mm f/2 Summicron quickly became renownedДЇor its performance and through its successive design updates it has remained the Exceptionally good aberrationД¬orrection, minimal vignetting, high contrast and excellent center resolution became hallmarks of Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron lenses. Both the collapsible and rigidД®arly Summicrons were built with chrome plated brass lens barrels. The optical formula remained exactly the same and this second generationДҐ0mm f/2 Summicron was produced until 1968. Lens to be collapsed for carrying, a popular feature of thread mount Leica lenses.Д«y 1957 the collapsible Summicron was discontinued in favor of fixed mount 50mm f/2 Summicron-M, which had been introduced inДЎ956. It was produced with a telescoping lens barrel that allowed the Gauss design using seven elements in six groups the fifth group being theД¬emented pair. The first generation 50mm f/2's optical formula was a modified Introduced in 1954, it was accompanied by the 50mm f/2 Summicron in M bayonet When the first Leica M-series camera, the M3, was The Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron lens was introduced for Leica Illustration courtesy of Leica Camera AG.
