The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. Lens stands as one of the most legendary optics in Leica's M-mount collection. This ultra-fast normal-length prime delivers exceptional low-light performance and remarkable subject isolation through its distinctive rendering quality. Built on a classic double Gauss optical design, it incorporates a pair of aspherical elements, anomalous partial dispersion glass, and high refractive index elements that create the signature subtle softness when shooting wide open, while maintaining accurate color reproduction and minimal distortion. A floating elements system ensures consistent image quality across the entire focusing range from 1m to infinity. The lens includes a built-in extendable hood and accepts 60mm threaded filters for added versatility.

Key Features:

  • Extremely fast f/0.95 maximum aperture affords notable control over depth of field for selective focus shooting, and also benefits working handheld in low-light conditions.
  • Distinct "slightly soft" rendering is characteristic of the Noctilux line, and is well-suited to portraiture and other lifestyle applications.
  • Referencing a double Gauss-type optical design, the lens is constructed with eight elements in five groups. Five of the elements are made from anomalous partial dispersion glass and three are made from high refractive index glass to produce distinct rendering quality while limiting color fringing and chromatic aberrations.
  • Two large-diameter aspherical elements are also used to control spherical aberrations for improved clarity and reduced distortion.
  • A rear floating element is employed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum focusing distance of 1m.
  • 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 60mm screw-in filters.
