The result is unparalleled versatility, giving subjects the chance to tell their own stories, even in the weakest light. Alongside the innovative, handcrafted precision, extremely shallow depth of field and the particularly aesthetic bokeh for this focal length, it is the significantly reduced close focus distance that ensures greater proximity to all the action, the subject and the world around us. Thanks to its compact design, the Noctilux-M 35 offers complete freedom to realize your photographic ambitions–anytime, anywhere. Inspired by light itself, which weighs nothing yet means everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features of the LEICA Noctilux-M 35mm f1.2 ASPH Lens - Black\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates closeness without forcing it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35mm fixed focal length produces thevelvety soft bokeh typical of Noctilux lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking the Very Best Out of Very Little\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt captures authentic moods without altering the scene with a flash or any other artificialintervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosing in on the Technically Impossible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eWhere Space and Subject Meet A new\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a lens that creates closeness without forcing it. Its 35mm fixed focal length produces thevelvety soft bokeh typical of Noctilux lenses, while also establishing a signature style–atmospheric, vivid and unmistakable. The slightly wide-angle lens strikes a new balance betweencontext and subject. There are enough surroundings to frame stories and people against theparticularly vivid Noctilux background at a wide aperture. This makes subjects stand out in threedimensions even from a distance. At close range, another strength becomes apparent: thecombination of a small close focus distance and extremely high lens speed creates a depth thatimmerses you in the soul of a moment rather than just seeing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eMaking the Very Best Out of Very Little\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Noctilux-M 35 f\/1.2 offers maximum freedom: it yields maximum light, even in conditionscharacterised by barely perceptible ambient illumination. Its extremely high lens speed with theaperture fully open enables you to take photos using only available light, even in challengingenvironment where the human eye barely sees at all. At parties, concerts or with late-night streetscenes, it captures authentic moods without altering the scene with a flash or any other artificialintervention. The wide aperture creates a distinctive cinematicaesthetic with natural colourrendering, exceptional contrast and atmospheric depth, giving you creative control over light,shadow and composition, even in minimal residual light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eClosing in on the Technically Impossible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure precision, condensed into a 415 gram, 5.02 centimetre package: the Noctilux-M 35comprises ten lenses in five groups, including three aspherical elements manufactured using thePGM process, as well as a patented focusing mechanism that ensures consistently high imagingperformance throughout the entire focusing range. The large focusing angle enablesexceptionally precise manual focusing, with a close focus distance of just 0.5 metres. This issupported by a mechanism that is handcrafted in Wetzlar with meticulous attention to detail thatcan be perceived in every millimetre. A true statement on precision optics–and the timelessexpression of genuine pioneering spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eForm Perfected–Made in Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePGM (Precision Glass Moulding) makes it possible to produce highly complex aspherical lenseswith special geometries. Such lenses were previously almost impossible to produce, but theyallow the 35mm Noctilux to deliver unparalleled performance in an extremely compact design. Atthe heart of this technology are mould inserts made of high-purity tungsten carbide, which areproduced specially in Wetzlar. With tolerances set at a maximum of three nanometres permillimetre of diameter, these aspherical tools are produced to an unrivalled standard of quality.Experienced specialists in toolmaking and precision optics perfect each tool through careful handpolishing before applying a diamond-like coating that transfers this perfection precisely to thehighly refractive glass at temperatures of up to 700°C. As part of this process, Leica harnessesits decades of experience and its own calculation models to accurately predict mould behaviourduring the cooling phase. The result is a process unique in Europe, whereby the Noctilux-M 35f\/1.2 ASPH. delivers the highest degree of performance in the most compact design to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"mpn\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMPN - 11635\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGTIN - 4022243116351\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Leica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112939602105,"sku":"175218","price":16099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/8897\/7337\/files\/11635_leica_noctilux-m_35_f1_2_asph_angular_hires.jpg?v=1778114871","url":"https:\/\/www.digidirect.com.au\/products\/leica-noctilux-m-35mm-f1-2-asph-lens-black","provider":"digiDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
