Leitz Summicron 2/50mm

IT, phones and consumer electronics

The Summicron 2/50mm is a standard prime lens made by Leitz for Leica rangefinder cameras, available in screw mount and later bayonet M mount versions. With a maximum aperture of f/2, it was long regarded as one of the sharpest 50mm lenses available and served as the standard optic across the Leica M and earlier thread mount system. Various versions exist including rigid, collapsible and dual range close focus editions, each differing in barrel design and minimum focus distance.

We recognise this model across the auction sites and keep every one we see together.

On a used one

Check the glass for haze, fungus and cleaning marks, and confirm the aperture blades move smoothly without oil contamination. Verify the focus helicoid is smooth and that the mount, whether screw or bayonet, matches the intended camera, and ask about any history of disassembly or repair.
