Is the leica summicron m 50mm f 2 worth it?

Yes, I think it's worth it if you already shoot a Leica M and like a fixed 50mm. It's the classic small 50mm: f/2, manual focus, full frame only. It fits every M body I list, from the Leica M10 to the Leica M11.

I don't list prices, so check those yourself. The page does say it's cheaper than the APO version. If sharpness matters most, look at the APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH, which is small and extremely sharp.

If you're weighing a lens for low light and portraits, a fast 50mm is where I'd start. That's what the lenses guide recommends, and is full frame worth it? explains why full frame suits that kind of shooting.
