Introduced in 1953 with the Leica IIIF, the price for this gem is $2,295. I had the 35 Summarit on loan to me from Leica, and I loved it. It’s small size is great, and reminds me of the previous 50 Cron with the detachable hood (my favorite version of the Summicron). While still a little expensive, you’re getting a brand new Leica lens that performs exceptionally well. For those who are more price conscious but still want a Leica lens, you have the wonderful 50 Summarit for $1,495 without lens hood. The Ever Growing Choices of Leica 50mm Lenses:įast forward ten or twelve years from when I bought my M6 TTL, and now you have a variety of Leica 50mm lenses to choose from to complement your M system.
↑ My old Leica M3 with my 50 Summicron in chrome. Combine the price with the image quality that the 50 Summicron has to offer, and it’s pretty much a no brainer. At the time, since I bought my M6 new, this was the only lens that I could afford other than the 50 Elmar. My lens of choice? Again, it was the 50 Cron. When I went to college, I finally saved up enough money to buy an M6. There was no way that I could afford another Leica lens while in high school, so I made do with only a 50mm. When I received my first camera (a Leica M3), this was my first lens (borrowed from my dad), and it was my only lens for many years to come. The 50mm lens is my favorite focal length for the Leica M system, and one of the biggest reasons for this is because of my relationship with the 50 Summicron.
