The fastest production aspherical lens, Leica Noctilux f/0.95 — the ultimate expression of speed and rendering quality.
The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. is the fastest aspherical lens in production, the crown jewel of the Leica M system that gathers more light than any other production lens. The f/0.95 aperture creates a depth of field measured in millimetres, producing images of extraordinary three-dimensional quality.
At f/0.95, the lens renders scenes with an otherworldly quality — subjects emerge from silky backgrounds with a presence that no other lens can replicate. The aspherical element provides significantly better wide-open sharpness than the previous f/1.0 Noctilux, while the f/0.95 speed delivers even more light gathering.
Build quality is Leica's absolute finest with massive brass construction weighing over 700g. The precision engineering of the focusing mechanism is essential for working with the impossibly thin depth of field, and every surface is finished to the highest standard Leica's Wetzlar factory can achieve.
The Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. is among the most expensive production lenses ever made and holds its value exceptionally well on the used market. It represents the ultimate expression of optical engineering, sought by photographers who demand the absolute maximum in aperture speed and rendering quality.
