It was originally contemplated that the production of the collapsible 50mm Summicron for the M 3 would be continued. The lens unit of this rigid Summicron can be removed from its focusing mount and used with a number of new close-up accessories in the same manner as the dual range Summicron. Starting at about the time of the New York Show it will become the standard f/2 lens for the Leica M 3 Camera. The new rigid 50mm Summicron for the M 3 was announced at Photokina and reference has been made to it in some of our literature.

Leica Summicron-M 50mm F/2 “50 Jahre Summicron” Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm F/2 ASPHERICAL for RED The Summilux ASPH works better in low light and is more flare resistant than the Cron and is as sharp as I need.Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm F/2 ASPH. Plenty more testing to be done with each lens but those are my initial findings.Īfter having the Summicron 50mm and Summilux 50mm for more time I tend to use the Summilux for most applications when chosing that focal length. The Lux can be quite clinical in it’s rendering whereas I think the Cron is closer to the Sonnar with more character. It focuses closer than the Zeiss ZM Sonnar 50/1.5 (Cron = ~0.68M / ZM 0.9M) and is lighter and smaller than the Leica Summilux ASPH 50mm f1.4 (“Lux”) lens. The Leica Summicron 50mm f2 v5 (“Cron”) is fast becoming my go-to 50mm Leica M mount lens. Leica Summicron 50 vs Summilux 50 vs Sonnar 50
