One of the new Summarit-M lenses from the Leica factory in Germany.

Leica is opening up the challenging world of rangefinder photography to a wider target group. High-performance Summarit-M lenses are the culmination of decades of striving to achieve perfect optical and mechanical quality by using premium materials, percision production techniques, cutting-edge mult-coatings, and individual hand adjustment. They are all produced at the Leica factory in Germany and carry the "Made in Germany" quality mark. The new Summarit-M lenses deliver beautiful, natural rendition, brilliant colors, a wealth of detail and rich contrast - even at full aperture. The mechanical system is pure Leica - the parts have no backlash and their movement is silky smooth. Summarit-M is a contemporary interpretation of classic lens construction in the renowned Leica traditional.

Summarit-M : Amazing quality plus outstanding value

The new Summarit-M lenses represent the very best that can be achieved today using traditional spherical lens design, for both analog and digital Leica M photography. All are 6-bit coded for optimum compatibility with the LEICA M9/M8, but also demonstrate their full capabilities on all M models from the LEICA M3 onwards.

LEICA SUMMARIT-M 50mm f/2.5. Powerful, lightweight and designed to be easy to operate, the LEICA SUMMARIT-M 50mm f/2.5's applications are as varied as life itself. It corresponds closely to the field of vision and viewing patterns of the human eye and offers an impresively neutral and natural perspective. On LEICA M9 and analog cameras, it is a brilliant standard lens while on the digital LEICA M8, its 67mm equivalent focal length makes it ideal for portraits or picking out precise details. 

The smallest new Summarit-M

The 50mm Summarit-M is tailor-made for everyday photography. Its lens speed is perfectly adapted for all common applications. It is an updated double-Gauss six-element construction based on our tried and tested design. All of this means that this particular Summarit-M makes the Leica M easier to experience than ever before, with cutting any corners in terms of optical performance.

All Summarit-M lenses are shipped in velour pouches, with metal lens caps for the front and back. In addition high-quality solid metal sun hoods are available as accessories.
