The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Leica 50mm f1.4 2025 and the Leica Summarit-M 50mm F2.4 ASPH for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Leica 50mm f1.4 2025 is the longer of the two lenses at 45mm. The Leica Summarit-M 50mm F2.4 ASPH with a length of 33mm, is 12mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Leica 50mm f1.4 2025 also has a larger diameter of 58mm compared to the Leica Summarit-M 50mm F2.4 ASPH's 52mm diameter.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Leica 50mm f1.4 2025 and Leica Summarit-M 50mm F2.4 ASPH to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
