The Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 is one of the most respected and enduring lenses in Leica's history. For generations of photographers, the 50mm Summicron has represented the ideal balance of size, image quality, versatility, and craftsmanship.
This lens comes from the collection of my late stepfather, Richard Jordan. Richard was an accomplished painter and lifelong artist who developed a fascination with Leica cameras and lenses later in life. While he would have been the first to admit that photography was not his strongest artistic medium, he deeply appreciated Leica's design, engineering, and mechanical precision. As a result, he assembled an extraordinary collection of Leica equipment, much of which was lightly used and carefully stored.
The 50mm focal length remains one of the most versatile perspectives available, making this lens equally at home for portraits, travel, documentary work, and everyday photography. The Summicron-M 50mm f/2 has earned its reputation as a lens that many Leica photographers keep for life.

About the Sale
All proceeds from this sale will go to the Richard Jordan Artist Fund, which supports emerging artists in Richard's memory.
I am not a Leica expert or professional camera dealer. To help create accurate and thorough listings, I used ChatGPT to assist in drafting portions of these descriptions based on the equipment itself, my own observations, and research into the gear. My goal is to be as transparent and straightforward as possible.
I have also created a spreadsheet inventory of the broader Leica collection:
If you are interested in multiple items—or potentially the entire collection—I would be happy to discuss a package arrangement.
I am happy to answer questions, provide additional photographs, or schedule a FaceTime/video call so you can inspect the equipment live before purchasing.
