Is the leica summicron m 66mm f 2 good for portraits?

The Summicron-M 66mm f/2 is a full-frame manual-focus prime for Leica M cameras, and f/2 gives you room to blur the background. The site doesn't have a portrait verdict on this lens specifically. My guide for portraits points to an 85mm, and 66mm sits a little shorter than that, so it will frame a bit wider. That can still work well for head-and-shoulders shots and environmental portraits.

It fits every Leica M body listed on its page, including the Leica M11. Lighting will matter more than the lens. A window or open shade will do more for your portraits than anything in the bag, so read light beats gear before you spend on glass. For a broader setup, see the first lenses guide and the portraits guide.
