At a Glance

The f/0.95 maximum aperture lets this 50 mm standard prime for full frame Leica M bodies collect a lot of light. That allows short shutter times in dim conditions and very shallow depth of field. Focusing is manual, the weight is 700 g, and the minimum focus distance is 1 m. Everyday shooting, street photography and low light are natural territory.

  • Everyday
  • Street
