For sale: In excellent condition Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Lens. No scratches, marks or blemishes. A combination of the know-how of Leica's engineers and the latest developments in manufacturing technology has resulted in this outstanding standard lens. It delivers high-contrast images, with high-resolution detail, even at its widest aperture, and down to its minimum focusing distance. This is made possible by a number of factors including the use of a floating element, special glass types with unique refraction properties, and elements with aspherical surfaces. The properties of this lens not only make it ideal for any photo situation demanding a handy all-rounder with the natural image angle of the 50 mm standard focal length, but also for available light situations, selective-focus shots, and even fine art photography - usually the preserve of much larger formats. Its wide-ranging versatility also makes it a top choice in assembling a Leica M lens outfit. All items are sold as-is. Please check my feedback for quality assurance. I reserve the right to end auctions early if item is sold. Thanks and happy bidding!!!

This lens coupled with the 16-50mm DA* lens (not available in this auction) has been my bread in butter for weddings and portrait photography over the past few years. It has been an awesome performer for me and is only being sold to raise money for new purchases. The lens comes with a soft case, hood, original box, and front and back lens caps. It works flawlessly (i.e., good as new) and is also in very good condition cosmetically. There are no scratches or nicks on the front nor back elements. There is also no dust or fungus inside the lens. Here is some general information about the lens: The Pentax SMCP-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Autofocus Lens is a high-quality telephoto zoom lens that is designed for exclusive use with Pentax digital SLR cameras. It offers a focal length that is equivalent (in 35mm format) from 75mm to 202mm. This wide coverage is ideal for a variety of telephoto applications, including portraiture, sports and scenery. The image circle in DA-series lenses is designed to perfectly match the 23.5mm x 15.7mm size of the CCD used in Pentax digital SLRs to optimize camera performance.(*) This design also contributes to a drastic reduction in size, weight and production cost, compared to 35mm-format counterparts with similar specifications. Pentax DA* (DA-Star) zoom lenses come equipped with the SDM System, which assures smoother, quieter auto-focusing operation by using a built-in supersonic motor. When mounted on the K10D digital SLR camera body, the focus mode is automatically switched to SDM-assisted auto-focusing. When mounted on older Pentax digital SLR camera bodies, the conventional autofocus mode using a camera-mounted motor is selected. Like all Pentax lenses, this lens is treated with smc coating for maximum light transmission, sharp definition, and high contrast images. In addition, SP (Super Protective) coating made of a special fluoride compound has been applied to the front surface of the lens through the use of a unique evaporation process. As a result, the lens offers excellent water- and oil-repellent performance and makes for easier cleaning should the lens be accidentally smeared with fingerprints or cosmetics. The camera in the photo, by the way, is not included. It was just included to show you how cool your camera will look with this lens attached. Enjoy!
