so in a nutshell - Leica builds some of the nicest lenses made. BUILD QUALITY AND HANDLINGĪfter writing many Leica reviews, detailing the build quality has become repetitive and dull. Te decision paid off and for many years I considered myself as a "50mm shooter". The Leica 50mm F1.4 Summilux-M ASPH was one of the most expensive lenses I had purchased. Looking back, the Leica 50mm F1.4 Summilux-M ASPH is an easy purchase decision (for me), but in 2007 the decision was a big gamble. And that "wow" continued with the Leica M9, the M9-P and the M Typ 240. Buying the Leica 50mm Summilux-M ASPH was a last ditch effort to will myself into liking the Leica M8.įrom the very start with the 50mm Summilux wow’d me. The Leica M8 was an impulse purchase, and the camera frustrated the bejesus out of me. At the time I had a Canon 1Ds Mark III and a Leica M8. Along the way the Leica 50mm F1.4 Summilux-M ASPH snuck into the running. In my SLR days I cycled through a dozen or so different 50mm lenses.
And if thinking beyond a single lens, the rest of kit is often is based around this one anchor lens. “If you could bring only one lens, which one would it be?” For Leica M shooters the question broaches hallowed ground - are you a 35mm or 50mm shooter? The question hints at how one sees the world around them.
