The Leica Summicron-M 1:2/50mm ASPH is one of the cornerstone lenses of the Leica M system. Revered for its balance of size, optical performance, and craftsmanship, it has long been considered a benchmark standard lens for Leica photographers.
This lens comes from the collection of my late stepfather, Richard Jordan. Richard was an accomplished painter and lifelong artist who developed a fascination with Leica cameras and lenses later in life. While he would have been the first to admit that photography was not his strongest artistic medium, he deeply appreciated Leica's design, engineering, and mechanical precision. As a result, he assembled an extraordinary collection of Leica equipment, much of which was lightly used and carefully stored.
The 50mm focal length offers a natural perspective that is equally suited to portraits, travel, documentary photography, and everyday use. The Summicron-M is particularly admired for its sharpness, contrast, color rendition, and compact size. It remains one of the most respected lenses in Leica's lineup and a favorite among photographers who value both performance and simplicity.

I am not a Leica expert or professional camera dealer. To help create accurate and thorough listings, I used ChatGPT to assist in drafting portions of these descriptions based on the equipment itself, my own observations, and research into the gear. My goal is to be as transparent and straightforward as possible.
I have also created a spreadsheet inventory of the broader Leica collection:
If you are interested in multiple items—or potentially the entire collection—I would be happy to discuss a package arrangement.
I am happy to answer questions, provide additional photographs, or schedule a FaceTime/video call so you can inspect the equipment live before purchasing.
Hi! Just to let you know. The box in the photo is for the Leica 50mm Summicron-M v5 and is not the correct box for that lens.
