The Leica Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH. is the first prime lens in the SL-System portfolio and the new reference lens in its class. This extremely fast, high-performance standard lens is ideal for capturing subjects in natural lighting and offers the advantages of depth of field as a creative tool. Thanks to the outstanding precision of its autofocus, it allows you to concentrate fully on your subject and the composition of a perfect picture. The imaging performance of the lens fulfills even the most stringent standards. Particularly at maximum aperture, its high resolving power and the pleasingly soft bokeh in out of focus areas isolate the subject clearly from its surroundings. Thanks to the consistent contrast rendition throughout the focusing range, this applies equally for all distance settings.
