Leica 50mm Summilux, mine is vintage but this one is good

My main Leica setup is my M11 with a 50mm Summilux, and I shoot it almost always wide open at f/1.4. It’s the look I want for weddings, and I’d rather adjust ISO and shutter all day than give up what this lens does.

Pros

+Beautiful wide-open look at f/1.4
+My go-to focal length for wedding storytelling
+Pairs perfectly with the Leica M11 for my style

Cons

-Manual focus demands practice, especially in fast moments
-Vintage versions can be harder to source and service
