Summilux 50mm f1.4, 2nd version. Black finish. Leitz product code: 11114. Serial number 2.62 million, manufactured in 1973. 5-group, 7-element design.
This is the new design second generation, offering sharper performance near wide open aperture settings while retaining the characteristic Summilux rendering. It provides stable and versatile performance across various scenes.
Weighing approximately 290g, it is slightly lighter than its predecessor from the era of chrome barrels and "Summilux princess" lenses.
Compatible with hood 12586. The previous XOOIM hood can also be used. Filter size is E43. It's a versatile lens that can be used in a wide range of applications and has been increasingly appreciated in recent years.
All functions are working properly, and rangefinder coupling is also good.
There is some paint loss on the front barrel near the hood attachment area, and minor paint chipping on the aperture and helicoid control rings, but overall it has a clean appearance.
Fully overhauled in 2023, including focus adjustment, it still provides an exceptionally smooth operational feel.
The lens shows no haze or noticeable wiping marks, and the glass is exceptionally clean and clear.
Rangefinder coupling is precise, making it ideal for practical use. Includes original front and rear caps, and a third-party filter that fits directly with the 12586 hood.
