2nd Generation Summilux 50mm f1.4, Black Chrome finish. The Leitz product code is 11114. With a serial number in the 2,620,000 range, this lens was manufactured in 1973. It features a 5-group, 7-element optical design.

As a newly designed second-generation model, it delivers sharper rendering at wider apertures while retaining the signature Summilux character. This results in a more stable and consistent performance, making it one of the quintessential Leica lenses experiencing a resurgence in popularity in recent years.

Despite its large f1.4 aperture, it is relatively lightweight and compact, weighing in at just 288g. Its black finish pairs beautifully with modern mirrorless cameras and digital Leica M models, making it a truly versatile lens. The Summilux 50mm f1.4 remains a quintessential standard lens from Leitz.

This is a previously sold item from our shop, which has now returned after being carefully used by a customer. The appearance remains beautiful, just as it was at the time of the previous sale. There is some minor paint loss at the tip of the barrel from attaching and removing the hood, but both the aperture and focusing rings show minimal signs of use and are in excellent condition. This Summilux Second offers a pleasant handling experience.

It was fully overhauled in 2024. Thanks to meticulous servicing, the operational feel remains smooth and refined, with perfect rangefinder coupling.

There is a very slight deterioration of the coating near the edge of the middle lens element, visible only under strong LED light. However, it is extremely minor and has virtually no effect on image quality.

The lens comes with a genuine front cap, plastic case, and original box (without serial number).
