Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. - Leica M-mount

The APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. is widely regarded as one of the finest standard lenses ever produced. Its apochromatic design uses specialised high-refraction glass to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations, resulting in exceptional micro-contrast and resolution from corner to corner, even at f/2. The lens is remarkably compact and features a built-in telescopic lens hood. It is an ideal choice for photographers requiring the highest possible image quality in a portable form factor. Used units should be examined for the smooth operation of the integrated pull-out hood, which can sometimes become loose over time. The focusing ring should be consistent and free from 'stiction'. SDS checks the internal optics for any dust ingress or coating scratches that might affect its high-contrast performance. As this is a precision-aligned instrument, we also verify that there is no evidence of impact damage to the barrel or mount.
