Carefully adapted in line with modern lens design, the Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. marks the return of one of the most famous lenses made for the Leica M-System. Its light sensitivity further contributed to the Noctilux’s legendary status and continued lineage – as did its unique aesthetic: images captured at open aperture are imbued with a soft, almost dreamlike quality – creating an unmistakable look with an exquisite bokeh. To re-issue this iconic lens, the original calculation and construction were only minimally changed, and carefully adapted to the glass types and production methods available today.

The lens comes in packaging inspired by the original box, and is complemented by the same lens container that was provided with the original Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 for safe keeping.

• Contemporary designed reinterpretation of one of the most mythical lenses for the Leica MSystem.
• Similar optical design as the original Noctilux lens. Unique image quality with a vintage feel from the original lens.
• Even though the lens has a unique look with wide open aperture, this lens is in general a very usable lens for everyday shooting.

• A special edition version in silver chrome finish in a special historically inspired packaging will be available on sales start, strictly limited to 100 units worldwide.
