The modern silver Summilux (1.4) 50mm M mount is a fantastic lens. Sharp, fantastic build quality, smooth focus and aperture, built-in hood and modern look. In spite of the high price tag, I would argue the value is good as those lenses retain and may even increase in value. The silver version of the 50mm is heavier than its black counterpart. If weight is an issue, I'd recommend the black version, or an older non-aspherical version.

This is, by far, the best lens I have used or owned. Period | Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend. Created: 06/04/11by: a8j2 ( 3 ) See all reviews by a8j2 I have bought this lens a month ago, and I have taken around 1000 exposures with it. Just to mention, I have the chrome version of this lens and it weighs more than the black version by around 120 g. It is a pleasure to hold and feel! No lens has such perfection in built quality. The price is high. Of course Leica fans will say you get what you pay for. I agree, but Leica's insane prices not only because the cost of hand made products as the cost of manufacturing is high. But the logo, being special and always there're people will pay our limited production capacity. If Nikon make this lens, I don't think it will be more than 2000$. This lens produces the best image quality I have seen. And the creamy bokeh is the best. For me, the results of this lens is mind blowing. Best of the best.Read full review
The Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 is one if not the best standard lenses in the world. The image quality is sharp with ultra smooth Leica signature bokeh. I have the silver chrome version which has the brass barrel, and the craftsmanship is the best I've seem in any lenses.

THE BEST THERE IS IN 50 M LINE UP. IMAGES ARE MUCH BETTER THAN ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN WITH A 50mm LENS. IT IS HEAVY AND A PLEASURE TO OWN. HOOD IS BUILT IN AND HOOD CAN BE LOCKED WHEN EXTENDED. LENS DELIVERS BRIGHT COLORS AND A PLEASING BOKEH. EASY TO USE WITH FABULOUS RESULTS.

THIS IS THE FINEST 50 LENS THAT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. CHROME ONE IS ALL BRASS WHICH IS THE ONE I LIKE. BLACK ONE IS ALIMINUM BODY WITH BRASS HELIOCOIDS AND IS A LITTLE LIGHTER/CHEAPER THAN THE CHROME ONE. OPTICALLY THE SAME. LENS IS VERY WELL CRAFTED AND THE OPTICS ARE EXTREMELY SUPERIOR. IT IS NIT CHEAP BUT DELIVERS IMAGES WHICH NO OTHER LENS IN ANY MAKE CAN PRODUCE. PAY THE PRICE, GET ONE AND YOUR SEARCH FOR A 50 mm LENS WILL BE OVER.
