Lens","description":"\u003ch3\u003eUltra-fast lens that excels in low-light photography while delivering exceptional image quality for Leica M cameras.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNoctilux-M 50mm f\/0.95 ASPH.\u003c\/strong\u003e, introduced in 2008, represents a bold evolution of Leica’s legendary low-light lens, surpassing its predecessor, the Noctilux-M 50mm f\/1 (11821\/11822), which was produced from 1976 to 2008. Designed by Peter Karbe, head of Leica’s optical development, the lens was a bold technical achievement that pushed the boundaries of what was optically possible in a full-frame rangefinder system. While the f\/1 version is renowned for its dreamy rendering, soft glow, and distinctive bokeh, the f\/0.95 ASPH takes performance to another level. It offers even shallower depth of field, improved sharpness and contrast wide open, with greater control of aberrations thanks to its aspherical element and modern optical design. Whereas the f\/1 features a more classic, vintage rendering. The f\/0.95 version retains the signature Noctilux look but adds technical precision and contrast for the modern era, making it more versatile for contemporary use. The f\/0.95 not only redefined the Noctilux line, but also reinforced Leica’s reputation for leading-edge lens design in the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eOut-performs the human eye\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extremely shallow depth of field at open aperture produces portraits and detailed studies of unequalled aesthetic effect. The result is outstanding image quality, comparable to the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f\/1.4 ASPH., which is considered the best standard lens ever produced. Even the light from one candle can be sufficient for handheld photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the world's highest-speed aspherical lens, the Noctilux-M 50mm f\/0.95 ASPH. exceeds the perception of the human eye. State-of-the-art optics and mechanical technologies have created a noticeable increase in lens speed, and a floating element retains high image quality even in the close-up range. Vignetting and distortion are even better than former Noctilux generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ePainting with light - even in darkness\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith resolving powers that exceed those of the human eye, the Leica Noctilux-M stands alone as the world’s fastest aspherical lens for 35 mm photography. At maximum aperture, the extremely shallow depth of field enables exposures of unrivaled aesthetic quality with a unique bokeh. This exclusive special edition, limited to only 95 lenses, is technically identical to the serial lens and also sets the focus on its exceptional speed in terms of design: the ‘0.95’ engraving stands out in white; all other engravings show themselves discreetly against the black anodized surface. Particularly striking features are the knurling that reflects the iconic design of the “S.T. Dupont for 0.95” pen collection and the distinctively placed glossy elements on the lens body and front cap. This marks the first time that a high-gloss anodized aluminum surface developed my Leica was used as a design element. Each lens of the edition is accompanied by a certificate that emphasizes its uniqueness. A lens that is as unique as the pictures that are taken with it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidest Maximum Aperture Leica Lens Available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for Extreme Low-Light Photography and Dramatic Subject Separation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-In Retractable Lens Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagonal picture angle: 47°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking range: 1 m to infinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiggest scale: 1:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of lenses\/groups: 8\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens hood: Pull-out and lockable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter\/filter thread: E60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld's fastest aspherical lens for 35mm photography at f\/0.95\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional low-light performance—sufficient light from a single candle for handheld shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely shallow depth of field for dramatic subject separation and unrivaled bokeh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced optical design with aspherical element and floating element for superior sharpness and contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced vignetting and distortion compared to previous Noctilux generations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e47° diagonal picture angle with 1m to infinity focusing range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in retractable lens hood with pull-out and lockable design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeica M quick-change bayonet with 6-bit lens identification for digital M models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE60 filter thread with accessory filter holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design: 75.1mm length, 73mm diameter, 700g weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 lens elements in 5 groups for optimal image quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture settings with click-stops and half-value increments down to f\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible With:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCameras:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeica M-Mount Cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilters\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eø: 2.87 x L 2.96\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.54 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer SKU:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11602\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn The Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeica Noctilux-M 50mm f\/0.95 ASPH.
