Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 - Pros & Cons

Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2

ergonomic handling and the overall experience
The colors are vivid
deep
and beautiful
built-in hood feels solid and works well
excellent image quality in a small package with perfect handling
sharp
compact
well-built
and makes
The focus ring is nicely damped and works smoothly
outstanding sharpness and resolving power
entirely different lenses and serve my needs on various projects
the build quality of the lens is excellent
Image blur is very smooth in front of the focal plane

lens flare a problem at all
a weather-sealed lens
need to be a sprint
Tech Specs Specs have been borrowed from DPReview
smearing/haze in the edges and corners
Zeiss doesn t have a built-in hood
no contrast or micro-contrast trickery
the lens has not changed internally
it s not that simple
In-focus areas fade gracefully into their backgrounds
both of our lenses have is markings on the aperture blades
high price creates a sharply defined barrier of entry
no batteries to run down
take only that lens
not a bag of lenses
a softer edge to portraits and a glow to highlights
an expensive lens
lack of distortion
there is no such lens in Leica land
the lens extends a little when focusing closer
feature a lock in the extended position
the MTF results are not directly comparable across the different systems
vignetting is no longer an issue
uncorrected light fall-off of the lens is unsurprisingly most pronounced wide open
shows only a small amount of bokeh fringing wide open
blur behind the subject is a bit busy at the largest aperture setting
