Introduced at Photokina 2016, the Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH was designed without regard to weight or dimension constraints: only absolute optical perfection. Utilizing two aspherical elements and anomalous partial dispersion glass, it delivers creamy, three-dimensional bokeh wide open while retaining pin-sharp contrast and resolution across the full sensor area.
