This Leica 50mm f2 APO-Summicron-SL Asph lens is all about authenticity, utilising one of the fastest autofocus systems in the pro-level camera industry. As with all Leica cameras and lenses, this lens is characterised by its high-end optical and mechanical construction - as well as its key apochromatic design that consists of high-quality anomalous partial dispersion glass. With 50mm being the closest focusing distance to that perceived by the human eye, this lens is ideal for day-to-day still and moving image capture. It further consists of a bright f/2 maximum aperture, a balanced ergonomic barrel construction, and a portable form factor. In regard to its optical design, this lens consists of three aspherical elements to reduce spherical aberrations and distortions for improved sharpness and clarity. This is backed up by a Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor, delivering a lightning-fast and near-silent autofocus to suit both still and moving imagery applications.

Leica APO-Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH.
The optical system of this Leica 50mm f2 APO-Summicron-SL Asph lens comprises of twelve high-efficiency elements constructed with performance materials and critical know-how. Within this, three key elements with four aspherical surfaces are able to correct monochromatic aberration. Alongside this, eight elements that are built up of specially formulated, quality glass types to guarantee chromatic correction throughout the full focal range. The apochromatic design employs anomalous partial dispersion glass to compensate for chromatic aberrations consistently. In turn, this allows for even the brightest highlights in an image to remain free from colour fringing. Multi-layer coatings have further been applied to individual elements to minimise surface reflections, flare, and ghosting to ensure high-levels of contrast, colour fidelity, and overall image quality.
A Modern Classic
50mm lenses are nothing new, however, they are incredibly reliable in low-light situations and perform well in a variety of image-making environments. Combine this with Leica's esteemed optical and mechanical construction, and you are left with this high-performance 50mm f2 APO-Summicron-SL Asph lens. It is great for day-to-day shooting and a reliable travel companion. Further to this, the Leica 50mm f2 captures dynamic, sharp full-length and waist-level portraits - both on location and in the studio. This is partly thanks to the intuitive Dual synchro drive stepping AF motor. Being so quiet, this lens is ideal for when you are aiming for more of a fly-on-the-wall approach to image-making.
To Stand the Test of Time
An effective water-repellent AquaDura coating has been applied to the front and rear optical surfaces of this lens to protect it from moisture and other damaging elements. This 50mm f2 further utilises a weather-sealed design, protecting against dust and moisture when shooting out in the field. As with the majority of Leica lenses, this 50mm is compact, lightweight, and sits comfortably within your grasp. It is clear to see that this 50mm f2 has been constructed to withstand a long working life under professional shooting conditions.

If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
