I can't vouch for below. This LEICA SUMMILUX 50mm f/1.4 was LEICA's standard ultrahigh-speed normal lens from 1961 until it was replaced by the in 2004. Even though the newest ASPH version throws a lot of technology at the problem, it's not much better than this lens! This traditional non-aspherical (spherical) lens was LEICA's, and thus the world's, best for over forty years.

Even today, its performance continues to exceed the newest 50mm f/1.4 lenses from Nikon and Canon. In addition to costing ten times as much as a Nikon or Canon, this lens also gets its performance advantage from the layout of the rangefinder M cameras, which gives lens designers the freedom to place the rear elements much closer to the image plane than with SLR lenses.

Avoid the earlier 1959-1961 versions (serial number 1 844 000 and below) which are externally identical to the lens above, but use a different and inferior optical design. This SUMMILUX helped kill off Nikon's rangefinder cameras in the early 1960s.

The performance of this SUMMILUX is worlds better than. Hailed in 1961 as an exotic, special purpose, ultra-high-speed lens with rare-earth glass elements, it made available-light color photography a practical reality. In 1976 it was described as a normal lens with very large maximum aperture with excellent correction for coma, as well as outstanding contrast rendering with freedom from ghost images from bright light sources, even at its full aperture of f/1.4.

LEICA also explained that the SUMMILUX is designed above all for exposures in poor lighting conditions, especially when shooting into light sources. Because of its large maximum aperture, it offers excellent general performance, suitable for all purposes within its focusing range. LEICA cautioned that it is not, however, designed for use on focusing devices or for reproduction purposes (copy work). I confirmed this: at close range, it has curvature of field which is fine for normal subjects, but poor for copying secret documents. In 1999, LEICA still praised its extraordinary speed and remarkably neutral color rendition, and that sharpness and contrast are still outstanding at full aperture. In 2003, LEICA shared that it delivers an exact color differentiation and it is virtually free of coma.

LEICA goes on to explain that it is particularly well suited to available light photography with outstanding performance in regards to ghost images from strong light sources inside the frame. LEICA also tells us it has 'subtle contrast transition' at full aperture. Thus we have the story of a master.

If you chose this lens today, you have chosen a proven winner. If you're counting every pixel on an, you deserve the newest, which has somewhat superior sharpness. This SUMMILUX has much poorer definition in a band of about 15mm image radius at larger apertures.

If ultimate image sharpness is your quest, the is better than any LEICA SUMMILUX. For actual photography, this is still the best 50mm f/1.4 lens ever made by anyone until LEICA outdid themselves in 2004 with the ASPH version. Compatibility LEICA M3 and SUMMILUX 50mm f/1.4.. This SUMMILUX 50mm f/1.4 is the finest 50/1.4 that was available on this planet at any price from 1961 through 2004. Every version of this SUMMILUX works perfectly on every LEICA M camera. On the CL, LEICA suggests shooting at f/2.0 or smaller since the CL has a puny rangefinder with limited precision. If you bought yourself a new in the 1960s when you were first starting your practice just out of medical school, this was the most exotic f/1.4 lens of which you could dream.
