Summilux 50mm f1.4, second generation in black chrome finish.
Leitz catalog No. 11114. Serial number in the 2.30 million range, manufactured in 1968. Optical design of 5 groups, 7 elements. Screw-in filter size E43 (43mm).
With the second generation, performance wide open became sharper and more stable. While retaining the classic Summilux character, it delivers a well-defined core and solid sharpness from full aperture.
Compatible not only with film and digital Leica M bodies, but also highly enjoyable on digital mirrorless cameras, where the beautiful scene in the finder is truly captivating. The correct hood is 12586. Weight is 290g. A truly versatile Leica masterpiece suitable for all-around use.

Previously sold by our shop. Carefully used by the customer and now returned to us once again. Welcome back.
The condition remains the same as at the time of the previous sale: clean and well suited for practical use. There is some black chrome wear on the front edge of the lens barrel from attaching and removing a hood, but overall signs of use are minimal, giving a clear impression that it has been well cared for.
A full overhaul was carried out in 2022. The aperture ring and helicoid still operate smoothly, and rangefinder coupling is spot on.
Under strong LED light, a few extremely faint cleaning marks and very minor coating deterioration can be detected, but there is no haze and the glass is clear and bright. Actual shooting results are excellent.
A Summilux 2nd that can be enjoyed with complete confidence.
