How Much Is a Used Leica Summitar 50mm Worth? (September 11, 2026 Price Guide)

The Summitar 50mm f/2 was Leica's top standard lens from 1939 to the early 1950s and the direct predecessor to the Summicron. A collapsible seven-element design by Max Berek, it improved on the earlier Summar with coated glass that controlled flare and vignetting far better. The Summitar renders with classic character wide open and sharpens up nicely stopped down, making it a favorite affordable entry into vintage Leica glass. Early prewar examples are uncoated and use ten aperture blades, while postwar examples are coated and switch to six blades, giving slightly different rendering. Used prices vary by version and condition.
