In this world where everything is mass produced, and quality control seems to go downhill, build quality like this is just so refreshing to see. Tolerances are so tight that the lens almost feels like it’s made out of one solid piece of metal instead of being assembled from different parts. Instead, the focus ring is silky smooth, and the aperture ring makes distinct clicks as you turn it. Everything feels just so sturdy, solid, and well-made there’s absolutely no play in the focus or aperture rings. The barrel is aluminum and comes in silver or black. The 50mm Summarit is essentially an all metal design. You pay an arm and a leg but one thing is for sure: when you’re buying an M lens, you’re getting a quality product. So far, I have not met a Leica M lens I didn’t think was built extremely well, and the 50mm Summarit is no different. Leica 50mm Summarit-M f2.4 Lens Build Quality: So, when Leica released the new 50mm Summarit-M, I knew I had to try it. I prefer it much more than what most people consider their normal focal length, the 35mm. Even to this day, every time I get into a new system let’s say, I still have to have a 50mm lens. I love 50mm lenses, and it’s probably because I started photography at a really young age with an old Leica M3 and a 50mm Summicron (read my About Me page for more details).
