At the same time, neither the frame size nor the sensitivity of the focus has been changed, which makes the lens particularly comfortable to handle even when focusing in the extended close-up range.<br><br>Directly integrated in the lens, the new round lens hood can be accessed at any time with only a flick of the wrist. Finally, in combination with the Leica M-Adapter L, the 50mm Summilux-M also enables photographing and filming with the Leica SL2 and the SL2-S. This is system compatibility “Made by Leica”.<br><br>Please note, the silver version of this lens is constructed from aluminum and weighs the same as the black version.<br><br><br> </li> <li
