It doesn't feature a lock in the extended position, but nonetheless stays well in its place in the field. The lens has a built-in telescopic hood that can be extended. The 8 aperture blades are straight (not rounded).Īs you can see in the product images above, the lens extends a little when focusing closer. By stopping down further, diffraction takes its toll and significantly reduces. At f/4, borders and corners follow up, too, giving excellent resolution across the frame. By stopping down, the image center increases to excellent figures by f/2.8 already. The aperture ring features half stop clicks and, unlike on older Leica lenses, has no play. The lens delivers very good resolution across the frame at the largest aperture setting. The focus path from infinity to MFD is roughly 90 degrees. The minimum focus distance is 0.7m, which matches the minimum distance the Leica M rangefinder is able to cover. The focus ring is nicely damped and works smoothly. It's an extremely solid, yet still very compact lens. Move the cursor over the text marks below to see the lens with the lens hood retracted or expandedĪs you can expect from a premium product, the build quality of the lens is excellent. In this review we'll have a look at how the lens performs on our test camera, the Leica M9. However, the barrel has been redesigned in 1994, replacing the clip-on hood with an integrated one. The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes. weather-sealed (splashproof) Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ.

Since then, the lens has not changed internally, making it one of the oldest products in Leica's portfolio. A metal mount is generally superior to a plastic mount as it is more durable.
#Fuji xf 50mm f2 vs leica 50mm summicron manual#
The first version dates back to 1959, while the current product was introduced in 1979. X-mount will be 5 years old soon, and Fujifilm has had some luck getting other manufactures to produce lenses for them but, beyond a few Zeiss AF lenses, most are manual focus. The Summicron 50/2 as it is sold today is already the 4th generation. For the price of the Summicron, one could also buy ten 50mm f/1.8 SLR lenses with F or EF mount. Anyone familiar with the brand already knows that there is no such lens in Leica land, at least as long as we're talking about current products. There is a little difference compared to most other systems, though: usually a fast normal prime is also a really affordable lens. See other Leica and photography defititions at the bottom of this page. The name Summicron was first used for the collapsible 50mm Summicron in 1953 (and then in 1958 for the 35mm Summicron Version I). For Leica and the M system, this role is best played by the Summicron 50mm f/2 lens. The Summi(cron) is a development from the orignal Summar (the 50mm f2.0 lens made in 1933). Special thanks to Thomas Koch for providing the lens!Ī fast normal prime is a key lens in almost any system. Review by Markus Stamm, published July 2013
