As the International Leica Society reaches its 50th Anniversary, Leica Camera has collaborated to release a special-edition APO Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. "LHSA" Lens to commemorate the occasion. In a limited run of just 300 black paint lenses and 200 silver chrome lenses, this lens will certainly become a collector’s item in time. This lens features a classic design, though the APO design ensures contemporary performance that will make the most of current high-resolution digital systems. The unique features of the LHSA edition include a scalloped focusing ring, red lettering for the feet scale and either black or white for the other engravings, serial numbers on the aperture ring, and the inscription of the LHSA logo on the bayonet rings above the "Made in Germany" lettering.
