The second 50mm Summilux was the long serving fast fifty from Leitz, 43,505 lenses between 1961 and 1991 on Walter Mandler's seven element, five group design, catalogued as 11113 and 11114. This is the black anodised version at about 275 grams, against 380 for chrome brass, with a twelve blade diaphragm, E43 filter thread and one metre close focus. Wide open it renders with a low contrast bloom that collapses into crisp definition by f/2.8.
