Solms has decided to go ahead and release a new M
lens, the 50/1.4 Summilux ASPH.

The new lens features 8 elements, several made with
various types of special glasses, while one element is
aspherical.

Other notable features include floating elements for
better close-up performance (still down to .7 metres),
a built-in collapsible lens shade that can be locked
in the extended position, and a knurled focussing ring
that also has an integral finger tab (for those who
can't decide whether to rub or to poke the thing).

Length is just over 52mm and weight is 335 grams.

Very good news, indeed.
