Leica Summicron-M 50mm F2

Product Overview
Leica Summicron-M 50mm F2 is a manual-focus normal prime lens for Leica M-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle and has 6 elements in 4 groups.
A normal prime lens, the Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 does not boast the brightest apertures, though it still may be worth a try for landscape and street photography. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling.
