Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH Lens Glossy Black in More Detail
Redesign of a classic
The Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH Lens Glossy Black from Leica is a reimagined version of one of the most iconic M-System lenses ever made. First introduced in 1966, the original Noctilux has attained legendary status for its unique character and groundbreaking optical design. The modern reinterpretation remains faithful to the spirit of the original, combining a bright f/1.2 aperture with compact dimensions, while introducing updated optical performance for today’s cameras.
The lens achieves highly detailed results with exceptional colour, contrast, and sharpness, right to the edges of the frame. When shooting wide-open at f/1.2, it delivers a soft, dreamlike quality with characterful bokeh. Its versatile 50mm focal length ensures the lens is suitable for a wide range of creative applications including portraits, lifestyle, documentary, and street photography.
The lens can also be used with SL cameras via the Leica M-Adapter L, providing compatibility across Leica’s entire ecosystem.
