Leica Summarit 50mm f1.5 with December 2025 Overhaul This lens has been overhauled in December 2025 by Camera Kobo Matsushita. The buyer will receive the overhaul ticket, the original front cap, the rear cap, and a new filter. ⸻ 【Description】 This Summarit 50mm f1.5 lens is considered the original high-speed, large-aperture lens from Leica and is a very popular "character lens" among old lenses. At its maximum aperture, you can enjoy the unique characteristics of the Summarit, such as its soft focus, swirly bokeh, and rainbow ghosting, which are typical of old lenses. The expressive power when conditions are right is unparalleled. This is a recommended lens for those who want to enjoy the unique rendering of classic lenses. ⸻ 【Optics】 Overhauled in December 2025, there is no haze, fungus, or balsam separation that would affect photography. Please understand that, as an old lens, there may be slight scratches due to cleaning. ⸻ 【Operation】 Although the lens has been overhauled, the focus ring feels slightly heavy (sticky) in its current state. This is likely due to the grease selection and adjustment during the overhaul being slightly on the stiffer side. There are no catches or unusual noises, and we have determined that it is within the practical range and does not pose any problems for normal use, but please be aware of this if you are looking for the operational feel of a current product. We believe that this can be improved by readjusting the grease, etc. As individual perceptions may vary, please purchase only if you understand this point. ⸻ 【Overhaul Contents】 ・Lens (optical system) disassembly and cleaning ・Focus ring helicoid grease replacement ・Aperture blades cleaning ・Aperture ring cleaning and grease application ⸻ 【Mount】 Leica L mount (screw mount) ※ Although the product description says αE mount, this is a misprint and is actually a Leica L mount. ⸻ 【Notes】 This is a used item and an old lens. Both the exterior and optics have scratches and minor imperfections commensurate with age. Please check the photos carefully for the condition. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues or if you are looking for a perfect condition. To prevent tampering, we cannot accept cancellations, returns, or refunds after purchase for any reason.
