These are now are some of the rarest and most sought after lenses in all of Leica's history. Almost entirely produced in a black anodized finish, a mere five prototypes were made in silver chrome.
This exotic and cutting-edge design was necessary to reduce spherical aberrations at maximum aperture and resulted in more pleasing rendering.Īs only 1,757 f/1.2 Noctiluxes were ever produced, an original is hard to come by. While offering the fastest aperture of any Leica lens at the time at f/1.2, the 50mm Noctilux was also the first serially-produced optic in the world to employ two asperhical lens elements. The first ultra-fast aperture lens from Leica to bear the designation ‘Noctilux' was introduced in 1966 and produced until 1975. Today, Leica has announced the reissue of the legendary first-generation Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH lens.
