Lightweight 50mm lens from Leica
With its natural perspective, 50mm is a great go-to focal length for all sorts of photography. This compact, lightweight Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH lens makes your Leica L-mount mirrorless camera a go-anywhere pleasure to shoot with. It lets in tons of light and delivers bright, color-rich images and video footage.
Stunning results, indoors and out
This lens is a great choice for shooting indoor parties — like weddings or birthdays — where limited light can present challenges. Its fast f/2 maximum aperture really invites you to shoot wide open. That lets you achieve a shallow depth of field, with crisply focused subjects and beautiful out-of-focus background elements.
This lens also performs beautifully when you're composing contextual portraits, deep landscapes, or richly detailed architectural shots. And its rugged, weather-sealed design protects against dust and light rain, in case you run into a bit of weather.
