Leica 50mm F2 Summicron-R

The 50mm Summicron is the Swiss Army Knife of lenses. You can it for almost any subject. Allowing you to fill a frame easier than with the 35mm lens, the 50mm lens is easier to use and a cinch to get great results. The optical design of the Summicron 50mm is absolutely legendary, and the performance of this lens is unmatched. Sharp from edge to edge, a total absence of distortion, and superb contrast at any aperture set this lens apart from all other 50mm lenses. The 50mm Summicron was produced in three versions. The optical design was changed with the second version. Note the beautiful golden coatings in the early 50mm Summicron pictured above. For most people, the 50mm Summicron is the first step into the Leica system. Once this lens is put to use, you to will become like the rest of us and only shoot Leica. This is why there is always an abundance of used Nikon and Canon gear on the market! This is your starting point, but luck is on your side because prices on used Leica R system lenses are very reasonable. So count your blessings and join the Leicaphiles. As someone once said "I'll see you on the other side".
