The only lens that can surpass this lens is Leica's own 50mm Summicron-M 2.0 APO. Today's version is near the pinnacle of quality that can be achieved in lens construction. A lot has changed in the 40 years between models. It was slightly recomputed in about 1962 for better performance. It replaced the 50mm Summilux 1.4 that was released in 1959 and holds the record for the longest production span in Leica history. The Leica 50mm Summilux-M 1.4 ASPH was introduced in August 2004 and was designed by Peter Karbe. In this review I am going to talk about what makes the 50mm Summilux so great. The Leica 50mm Summarit-M 2.4 is the least expensive of Leica's 50mm offerings and it is a good value the is often unjustifiably overlooked. It is the standard by which all other lenses are compared. The Leica 50mm Summicron-M 2.0 ASPH is arguably the most famous lens ever made. The Leica 50mm Noctilux-M 0.95 ASPH when shot wide open gives an image that is like no other from Leica or from any other company. You really can't go wrong when choosing a Leica 50mm lens. The Leica 50mm Summilux-M 1.4 ASPH is my vote for the best standard lens for the Leica M system.
