Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH Classic Line Glossy Black Reviewed

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

Leica Images put the glossy black brass Classic Line Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH through its paces. At $5,000 USD it sits in niche territory, but the review finds it genuinely sharp at f/1.4 with good micro-contrast, creamy bokeh, and some green fringing in hard backlight. The finish develops a patina over use.
