Here is a new lens offering from Leica. A similar fixed 50mm lens as discussed above that is very fast at f1.4. The cost of this lens will be $1499. Obviously, there is a wide range of quality to choose from.
As I rationalize my inability to purchase these high dollar gadgets I remind myself that there is a difference between photos that are the end product, being judged on their technical merit, and photos that we interpret and use as reference. Still, within our (my) price range there exists good and bad products. You have to do your homework.
The release reads:
The new LEICA D SUMMILUX 25mm/F1.4 lens (35mm equivalent: 50mm) is a bright, large-diameter F1.4 standard lens. It incorporates an aperture ring and boasts as many as 10 lens elements in 9 groups, including a large-diameter aspherical lens, which assure a superb optical performance and F1.4 brightness, while one super ED (extra-low dispersion) lens and three ED lenses reduce color bleeding to an absolute minimum.
