The LEICA SUMMARIT-M 50mm f/2.5 features a lightweight body and is designed
for easy operation. Covering a variety of applications, it corresponds closely
to the field of vision and viewing patterns of the human eye and offers an
impressively neutral and natural perspective. On the digital LEICA M8, its 67mm
equivalent focal length makes it ideal for portraits, capturing precise details
or simply for just everyday photography. Its lens speed is perfectly adapted for
all common applications and an updated double-Gauss six-element construction
makes this a very reliable lens without cutting any corners in terms of optical
performance.
Even at full aperture, the lens offers outstanding results with excellent
contrast over almost the entire image field. The shallow depth of field of this
lens makes the main subject stand out from the background, making it ideal for
both portrait shots and close-ups. With a traditional double-Gauss construction

lens makes the main subject stand out from the background, making it ideal for
both portrait shots and close-ups. With a traditional double-Gauss construction
made up of six lens elements in four groups, arranged symmetrically, it provides
an outstandingly flat image field and excellent correction for chromatic
aberrations and distortion.
