Below are aВ few photos showing the lenses side by side вЂ“ as you can see, any differences in size are negligible. The Light Lens Lab ELCAN 50mm f/2 replica comparison versus the Leica Summicron 50mm v4 is applicable because they are roughly in the same price point. With the hoods attached, they are essentially the same size again. They hail from Japan as well as British Columbia.

On my way out IвЂ™ll leave you with the following collection of images. Without the hoods, they are almost identical in length, although the Summarit has less volume as its diameter is smaller at the front. I love it even more than the APO Summicron 50 and, because it so adroitly juggles graceful OOF presentation with sharpness and flare control, I consider it the best among all of the contrasty Summicrons (V3, V4, APO). As standard, the lens comes with aВ screw on metal ring to protect the thread and aВ metal cap.Д«oth lenses are pretty much the same size. The hood feels and looks much better than on the Summicron, but it doesnвЂ™t come with the lens as standard, in fact itвЂ™s an additional ВЈ110, which is aВ lot of money for aВ lens hood, however youвЂ™re getting aВ quality item. The Summarit has aВ very similar hood, but itвЂ™s made of metal and it screws on to the lens. The Summicron has aВ somewhat cheap-feeling rectangular plastic hood, which clips on to the lens. The Summarit narrows down towards the front of the lens, while the Summicron has consistently the same diameter. The barrel paint would not match with black paint finish. They protrude from the camera by almost the same distance and balance on the camera perfectly. Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron V4: Rendering and character of a Leica lens Second hand item which may have problems The smallest modern 50mm summicron ever with the same optics of V5. It works well for portraits, as long as you donвЂ™t mind a little distortion. On a Leica M camera itвЂ™s a convenient focal length for street photography. Solid and reassuringly hefty, despite their small size. Leica Summicron 50mm f2 v4 is a nice walk-around lens to take on a day out.
