Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux-M Asph Safari

Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux-M Asph Safari

This limited special edition combines contemporary technology with distinctive design in a fast standard focal length.

As a Safari design variant, this standard focal length is every bit as distinctive as the images it creates. The coveted, durable matt olive-green finish paired with the finely detailed adjustment scales lend the lens a striking appearance. Like the series model, the Safari Edition delivers natural perspectives aligned with the human field of view and maintains strong performance even in challenging lighting conditions. Thanks to its selective focus capabilities, it is perfectly suited for portraits, delivering high-contrast images with finely resolved detail – even at full aperture and right down to the close focus distance.
