Very sharp, better than any 50mm I have before

bloody expensive

Just have it for 2 weeks on my New M9. Very good and really light weight. New to Lecia and use D3s all the time. You guys knows about the weight of the D3a especially with the 24-70 attached. The new M9 with this lens really save my days and I can carry it with me all the time now.

推出式金屬遮光罩夠方便, Leica鏡做工精細扎實就一定勒.
變焦環順滑, 浮動鏡片ASPH, 影像質數冇可批評.
但喜歡舊鏡feel既就未必like.

真係諗唔到

相對75/1.4輕便得多, 要清夠銳利, 要散影又俾到. 拍人一流, 去旅遊只帶兩鏡的話非24同呢支莫屬.

super super super sharp images.
superb 3D rendering.
it takes great portrait.
1.4 is fast enough for most circumstances hense no need to carry the heavy duty noctilux.
size is relatively compact for such a high quality lens.
looks great on any M cameras.

some ppl might find it too sharp but that's what i like about it so i dont see any cons on this lens apart f from the price (28k)....

one of the best 50mm lens in the world. it is quite rare cos there is no stock everywhere. i acquired mine second hand in mint condition. i have to say that once i had this lens attached onto my M8, i dont want to take it off anymore....even though i haave some other high quality lenses.... this 50lex asph is just like the tools made for god. focusing is smooth and easy. i compared this lens with the current version 50 summicron which is also famous for being sharp as well but it cannot be compared to the 50lux at all.

if i am only allowed to have 1 lens, i will no doubt choose this masterpiece.
