The reintroduction of the renowned Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH. Lens by Leica marks the revival of one of the most celebrated M-mount lenses. This lens has been meticulously updated with contemporary design and manufacturing techniques to preserve its distinctive aesthetic for modern photographers. When images are taken at the maximum aperture, they exhibit a soft, ethereal quality, resulting in a signature appearance characterized by stunning bokeh. The optical configuration closely mirrors that of the original lens from 1966, imparting a classic, vintage essence. Two large-diameter aspherical elements are employed to mitigate spherical aberrations, enhancing clarity and minimizing distortion. While the Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 offers a distinctive appearance at wide apertures, it remains versatile and robust enough for daily use.
