Artizlab Classic-M 50mm f/1.4 lens for M-mount additional information, orders will open on November 15th

By LR admin | Published: November 11, 2026

The product listing for the previously reported Artizlab Classic-M 50mm f/1.4 lens for M-mount is now live. Pre-orders will open on this page on November 15th (use coupon code LEICARUMORS for a discount).

“Artizlab’s craftsmanship pays homage to the classic Leica E43 (Summilux 50mm f/1.4), capturing the vintage character and rendering of this legendary lens. Visually, it faithfully recreates the original’s compact metal body and iconic hammered-finish lens hood. The finely textured finish interacts beautifully with light and shadow, bringing the aesthetic charm of the film era to your fingertips. Optically, it recreates the vintage Leica’s warm color rendition, smooth tonal transitions, and distinctive bokeh,
evoking an authentic “humanist” photographic style.
More than a faithful recreation, it brings a closer-focusing experience to the classic design. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.45 meters, compared with 1 meter on the original, it oﬀers greater flexibility for portraits, street photography, and close-up shots. The classic is now closer than ever. Another addition to the Classic-M series, honoring a classic legacy while redefining the classic experience.”

Here are all the details on the new lens and some sample photos:
