Product description for Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 asph. Leica M glossy black lacquered

A milestone in the history of photography
The Leica Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH., carefully adapted to the design of modern lenses, marks the return of one of the most famous lenses for the Leica M system. It owes this fame to its still impressive speed, its elaborately manufactured aspherical lenses and its high image quality with a unique look at open aperture. The Noctilux 1:1.2/50 was produced from 1966 to 1975 in an edition of 1757 units.

A Lens lights up the night
A street lamp at night, the rear lights of a vehicle, a child's face in candlelight, an actress or a singer in the spotlight Images of authentic and natural clarity. Pictures taken with a Noctilux are characterized by their unmistakable bokeh and an almost impressionistic visual quality. The Noctilux is a fascinating tool with which photographers from all over the world master visual and artistic challenges and tell fascinating stories of the bright and dark sides of life.

Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH. - becomes part of the classic line
With the Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH., Leica is reissuing a Lens that has a very special place in the company's history. The Noctilux 1:1.2/50 was produced between 1966 and 1975 and was a minor sensation as the first ever Lens with aspherically ground lenses. Not only did the first Noctilux achieve legendary status due to its enormous speed, but also due to its image effect, because when the aperture is open, the images appear soft and almost dreamy - an unmistakable look with a special bokeh.

The new Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH. retains this very special look, with a design and construction so close to the original that the image effect is comparable. However, the fact that this lens was calculated more than 50 years ago does not mean that it can only be used for nostalgic experiments, as it delivers very sharp images that also meet modern demands for image quality in the digital age, at the latest after stopping down to f/2.8. In addition, the lens is still the most compact and lightest Noctilux in the Leica lens range today.

The Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH. will be available in two versions.
Before the lens was launched in 1966, M-Lenses were mostly silver and were only rarely produced in black as discreet special models for photo reporters. The Noctilux marked the beginning of the transition to black anodized Lens. Prior to this, around five prototypes had been produced in silver, which today are among the rarest, most sought-after and most expensive M Lens models. There were also only a limited number of 1757 of the series model of the Noctilux 1:1.2/50 in black, meaning that well-maintained examples are now sought-after collector's items.

The black anodized version of the Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH. with aluminium mount is now available from specialist retailers at a price of 6950 euros including VAT. The lens is supplied in a box inspired by the original and with a "lens box", a special container in which the lens can be safely stored and which also accompanied the Noctilux 1:1.2/50. The silver chrome-plated version of the Lens, which is available at the same time, is produced in an edition of 100 in a brass mount. In addition, LEITZ WETZLAR instead of LEICA is engraved on the front ring and the packaging will be even more closely based on that of the original.

The Leica Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50 ASPH. is the third in the classic line of M-Lenses, which previously included the Summaron-M 1:5.6/28 from 1955 and the Thambar-M 1:2.2/90 from 1935

Leica SL3-P: First Impressions, Behind the Scenes at Leica & Our Take

The new Leica SL3-P isn’t just meant to fill the gap between the Leica SL3 and the SL3-S. It’s intended to be the new flagship of the SL system, offering the most balanced combination possible of image quality, speed, autofocus, video, and usability. We spent two days at the launch event at Leitz Park in Wetzlar, where we were able to test the Leica SL3-P in real-world conditions and explore what lies behind the “all that matters” philosophy.
