This is particularly problematic since the Zeiss 50mm f/2 Planar is almost identical for a much lower price ( review). The only real downside is its price, which although low by Leica standards, is still very high at above $1,500 on the used market.
The Summicron delivers this excellent image quality in a small package with perfect handling.
The edges/corners don’t get sharp until around f/2.8 or f/4, but this almost never matters. It’s tack sharp throughout almost the whole frame even at f/2, which is way better than your classic nifty fifty from Canon/Nikon/etc. The 50mm Summicron is a fantastic standard lens.
In summary, the Summicron isn’t 100% perfect but will deliver razor-sharp images in almost all real-world circumstances.įocus shift: I remember seeing some focus shift when I tested for it at 0.7m, but I never noticed significant focus shift in my photos.
