The calling card of the Noctilux series, this lens is distinguished by its impressively bright f/1.2 maximum aperture. This is Leica's brightest 35mm lens yet, making it well-suited to low-light use, for selective-focus portraits, and other subjects that are benefitted by a unique shallow depth of field look. - Bright f/1.2 design helps isolate subjects using shallow depth of field; this fast design also excels in low-light conditions.
- Distinct Noctilux rendering portrays subjects with cinematic atmosphere surrounded by soft, circular bokeh thanks to an 11-blade diaphragm.
- This lens joins the 50mm f/0.95 and 75mm f/1.25 to complete the Noctilux trio.
Versatile 35mm Focal Length- This is the first Noctilux lens with a 35mm focal length, offering a wider field of view compared to the existing 50mm and 75mm Noctiluxes, for a natural perspective that includes more background information and context than the narrower focal lengths.
- The fast design still allows the lens to be selective but the wide-angle focal length makes the lens more suitable for traditional reportage, street, and environmental portraiture applications.
Contributing both to the lens's small size and impressive image quality, this Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 utilizes Precision Glass Molding (PGM) technology to create a more efficient and exacting optical design. - Optimized for high-resolution M cameras, this lens provides the sharpness and resolution for the latest image sensors while still retaining the character and handcrafted quality associated with Leica optics.
- PGM technology is used to shape the three aspherical elements with finer tolerances for better control over various aberrations, higher micro-contrast, and smoother, more natural bokeh.
- Additional elements are made using highly refractive glasses for improved color clarity with virtually no chromatic aberrations.
- Floating element design also ensures consistent image quality throughout the focusing range.
Manual Focus Control and Physical Design- This is the first Noctilux lens to feature extended close-range focusing down to 1.6' (50 cm); compared to the conventional 2.3' (70 cm) of most rangefinder lenses, this additional range suits working with close-up subjects at a maximum magnification of 1:11.6.
- To make use of the added 1.6' to 2.3' focusing range, an M camera with an EVF, an accessory Visoflex EVF, or live view monitoring from the camera's rear LCD must be used; optical rangefinders only provide accurate focusing control to 2.3'.
- Despite being the fastest 35mm lens Leica has produced, this lens still manages to be relatively compact and lightweight—it measures 2" long, 2.5" in diameter, and weighs 14.7 oz.
- 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 49mm screw-in filters.
