Konica Hexar RF with Leica 50mm f2 Summicron V5 Lens
The Leica 50mm f2 Summicron is a legendary standard lens for the M rangefinder system, and the "v5" generation is one of our favorites. It combines incredibly sharp optics with great ergonomics, and the built-in lens hood is a relief from typically expensive and hard-to-find Leica hoods.
The chrome "11816" version of this lens is all brass (the black version is aluminum) giving it greater heft in hand and even smoother focus dampening. If you're looking for a 50mm lens to last a lifetime, take a good look at the v5 Summicron.
