Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Safari: a reimagined classic

The Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Safari brings a modern interpretation to Leica’s most iconic standard lens. With its redesigned, lighter housing and refined engineering, this special edition blends tradition with contemporary performance for photographers seeking the perfect everyday prime.

Enhanced optical performance

Optimized for high-resolution digital sensors, the lens offers superior sharpness, contrast, and rendering quality.

• One aspherical element minimizes spherical aberration and distortion for exceptionally accurate imaging.

• The 11-blade diaphragm produces smoother, more rounded bokeh at mid apertures.

• The fast f/1.4 aperture ensures excellent low-light capability and refined depth-of-field control.

Improved focusing and greater versatility

The new minimum focusing distance of 45 cm significantly enhances close-up capabilities.

• From 70 cm to 45 cm, focusing is performed via Live View, Visoflex, or the Leica FOTOS app.

• Traditional rangefinder focusing remains available down to 70 cm.

Classic M design with modern refinements

• Built-in retractable lens hood eliminates the need for an external accessory.

• 6-bit encoded M bayonet mount, compatible with all Leica M cameras.

• Compact form factor: 58.6 mm diameter, 59.3 mm length, and a weight of 337 g.
  A discreet yet powerful tool crafted for every photographic scenario.
