The Leica Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH. Lens stands as one of the fastest portrait primes ever created, rivaled only by its legendary 50mm counterpart. This high-speed optic excels at isolating subjects with exceptional depth-of-field control while delivering outstanding performance in low-light environments. Its sophisticated optical design employs anomalous partial dispersion and low chromatic dispersion glass throughout to eliminate color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring pristine clarity. Two large-diameter aspherical elements suppress spherical aberrations for superior sharpness and minimal distortion, while a rear floating element system maintains consistent image quality across the entire focusing range from 85cm to infinity. The 11-blade diaphragm renders beautifully rounded bokeh, and the integrated extendable lens hood guards against flare and ghosting while accepting 67mm filters.

Key Features:

  • Extremely fast f/1.25 maximum aperture affords notable control over depth of field for selective focus shooting, and also benefits working handheld in low-light conditions.
  • Short-telephoto 75mm focal length offers a slightly compressed image quality that is well-suited to portraiture and close-up images, especially when used in conjunction with the shallow depth of field afforded by the bright maximum aperture.
  • Nine elements in six groups optical design is comprised entirely of anomalous partial dispersion and low chromatic dispersion glasses in order to significantly reduce color fringing and produce imagery with a high degree of clarity.
  • Two large-diameter aspherical elements are also used to control spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced distortion.
  • A rear floating element system is employed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum focusing distance of 85cm.
  • An 11-blade diaphragm produces a rounded and pleasing bokeh quality.
  • 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 67mm screw-in filters.
