※About rarity

Summilux 50mm f1.4 1st version, black paint finish. Serial number in the 1.7 million range, manufactured in 1959.
This lens belongs to the batch produced right after the 1.64 million range from 1958, where brass reverse knurling was mixed. This example features the standard knurling and a chrome mount surface. The purple-toned coating beautifully complements the black-painted body and lens.
In full original condition. As is typical of Leica’s early and painted models, both image quality and rangefinder coupling accuracy are excellent.
The black chrome and black paint surfaces show a well-balanced degree of use, making it equally suitable for both collection and practical shooting.
A rare piece.

Minor scuffs are visible on the filter ring and helicoid ring. The black-painted distance scale area shows fine bubbling, giving it a pleasant vintage character. The orthogonal knurled section at the base of the barrel reveals a faint brass tone, adding to its appealing patina.
Fully overhauled in October 2025. Thanks to the careful servicing, all operations are now exceptionally smooth, and rangefinder coupling is perfectly accurate.
The front element shows a small 2 mm fungus mark, and the rear edge has a tiny pin-sized trace, but these have virtually no impact on actual shooting. Both have been thoroughly cleaned, and no further progression is expected.
The coating remains intact across all surfaces, and the aperture blades are clean with minimal wear.
Overall, a fine example of an early Summilux in excellent condition.
Comes with a third-party front cap, genuine rear cap, and a later-period Leica UVa filter.
