Above is the 50/1.4 WO on the A7.mod Very little editing.
Below on M9, which loves the lens.

This is another example of how all the complaining about Leica prices misses the fundamental point: A7.mod, M8 or M9 is really all you need to spend money on. Many good lenses like this one in 300USD range.
This lens will always be cheap: they made very many. Both versions optically identical.

good as this 50 is, I'd say the 100/2 and 85/1.8 are more remarkable. Also much much more rare and expensive.

one of the sleepers is the 85/1.9, which is cheap and incredible in every way (many blades)

Another sleeper is the ultra light 100/3.5, which is jaw droppingly sharp and under 200USD.
Those are 1954 prices, I think
This was the last and best design (first telephoto 85):

under 2000 copies of this and the 100/2 compared to over 50.000 copies of the 50/1.2!
