Leica M EV1 Camera with Summicron M 50mm f/2 Lens Black Anodised Summary
The Leica M EV1 Camera with Summicron-M 50mm f/2 Lens Black Anodised combines Leica’s first M body with an integrated electronic viewfinder and one of the system’s most established standard focal length primes. The M EV1 digital rangefinder camera and the Summicron-M 50mm f/2 provide a natural rendering, and perspective, along with Leica’s elusive image quality.
The EV1 sits alongside the M11 series but includes a built-in 5.76-megapixel OLED electronic viewfinder for the first time in an M rangefinder, providing live view composition with focus aids and exposure preview. When paired with this 50mm Summicron, the EVF shows precise framing and allows careful focus checking at wider apertures, which is particularly useful when working at closer distances.
This kit suits photographers who prefer a standard focal length that closely reflects natural human vision. It offers a good entry point into the M system for newcomers, while also supporting an updated way of working for existing M photographers who want electronic preview and focus assistance without moving away from manual M lenses.

Leica M EV1 Camera with Summicron M 50mm f/2 Lens Black Anodised in More Detail
Lens and image quality
The 50mm focal length is central to the Leica M system, offering a perspective that closely matches human vision. On the M EV1’s full-frame sensor, it records scenes with minimal distortion and balanced proportions, making it well suited to commonplace subjects such as portraits, documentary and casual photography. The Summicron-M 50mm f/2 captures high contrast and even sharpness across the frame, which the EV1 sensor records with excellent detail and smooth tonal transitions.
Manual focus with EVF support
The integrated electronic viewfinder on the M EV1 changes focus evaluation in real time. Focus peaking highlights the plane of focus in the viewfinder, while focus magnification allows fine adjustment when working at f/2 or near the 0.7 m minimum focusing distance. This is particularly useful for portraits and close-range subjects, where precise focus placement is critical.
Handling and usability
The Summicron-M 50mm f/2 is compact and well balanced on the EV1 body, keeping the overall kit comfortable during extended handheld shooting. A built-in retractable lens hood protects against stray light without adding bulk, while the camera’s FN-Lever places focus aids within easy reach. Exposure information and framing data are displayed clearly through the EVF, allowing continuous feedback without removing your eye from the viewfinder.
Connectivity
Images can be saved to the EV1’s 64GB internal memory or to an SD card, with wireless transfer available through the Leica FOTOS app. This supports background image transfer, quick review and backup without removing the card, which is useful when working on location or travelling light.
