Leica Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH. Lens

The Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH. from Leica stands out for its remarkable speed, second only to its renowned 50mm counterpart. This high-speed portrait-length prime lens excels in isolating subjects, rendering them in a distinctive manner, and delivering exceptional performance in low-light environments. In addition to its impressive maximum aperture, the 75mm f/1.25 is notable for its advanced optical design, which incorporates anomalous partial dispersion and low chromatic dispersion glass to effectively minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring high clarity. The lens also includes two aspherical elements that contribute to significant sharpness and reduced dispersion, while a floating element system at the rear guarantees consistent image quality across the entire focusing range, from 2.8 feet to infinity. Furthermore, the lens features an 11-blade diaphragm that creates a particularly attractive, rounded bokeh, and a built-in lens hood is designed to mitigate lens flare and ghosting.

• Extremely fast f/1.25 maximum aperture affords notable control over depth of field for selective focus shooting, and also benefits working handheld in low-light conditions.
  
  
• Short-telephoto 75mm focal length offers a slightly compressed image quality that is well-suited to portraiture and close-up images, especially when used in conjunction with the shallow depth of field afforded by the bright maximum aperture.
  
  
• Nine elements in six groups optical design is comprised entirely of anomalous partial dispersion and low chromatic dispersion glasses in order to significantly reduce color fringing and produce imagery with a high degree of clarity.
  
  
• Two large-diameter aspherical elements are also used to control spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced distortion.
  
  
• A rear floating element system is employed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum focusing distance of 2.8'.
  
  
• An 11-blade diaphragm produces a rounded and pleasing bokeh quality.
  
  
• Built-in extendable lens hood shades and protects the front element to reduce lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, the front of the lens is threaded to accept 67mm screw-in filters.
  
  
• A tripod adapter is included to facilitate easy and secure use of this lens when shooting from a tripod.
