As a legendary lightning-fast prime lens within the esteemed Leica M-mount range, the 50mm f0.95 Noctilux-M Asph is characterised by its distinctly softened image-rendering, exceptional low-light performance, and detailed subject isolation. In regard to the optical construction of this lens, the 50mm f0.95 Noctilux-M Asph mirrors that of the classic double Gauss optical design. It further utilises a pair of key aspherical elements, anomalous partial dispersion glass, and high refractive index elements. This produces a distinct dream-like softness to your images when shooting wide, as well as maintaining consistent edge-to-edge colour-accuracy with minimal distortion. To guarantee exceptional image quality throughout the available focal range, a floating system is incorporated as well as an in-built extendable lens hood. Tailored to low-light photography, creative portraiture, and urban exploration, this lens is a serious crowd-favourite amongst Leica enthusiasts.
