Its light sensitivity (which is enormous even by today’s standards) further contributed to the Noctilux’s legendary status – as did its unique aesthetic: images captured at open aperture are imbued with a soft, almost dreamlike quality – creating an unmistakable look with an exquisite bokeh.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eWith an optical design almost identical to the original 1966 lens, the NoctiluxM 50 f\/1.2 retains these distinctive visual characteristics providing a classic vintage feel, adhering so closely to the original that the imaging results are almost identical. Two large-diameter aspherical elements control spherical aberrations for improved clarity and reduced distortion, and images captured at an open aperture feature a soft, dreamlike quality, creating an unmistakable look with exquisite bokeh.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eDespite the fact that it was originally calculated more than fifty years ago, the purpose of this lens is by no means limited to nostalgic experiments: once it has been stopped down to f\/2.8 (at the very latest), the NoctiluxM 50 f\/1.2 delivers sharp images that live up to any quality expectations of modern day digital photography. The lens also continues to be the most compact and lightweight Noctilux in Leica’s catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe lens comes in packaging inspired by the original box and is also complemented by the same lens container that was provided with the original Noctilux 50 f\/1.2 for safekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the LEICA - NOCTILUX-M 50mm f\/1.2 ASPH Black Anodized\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMay be used for working handheld in low-light conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistinct \"slightly soft\" rendering characteristic of Noctilux lenses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo aspherical elements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEight elements in five groups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePackaging based on the original design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes transparent plastic container\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"dDh\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"uLit\"\u003eBuy LEICA - NOCTILUX-M 50mm f\/1.2 ASPH Black Anodized with Leica Australia Warranty from digiDirect\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.digidirect.com.au\/lenses\/leica\"\u003eLeica\u003c\/a\u003e lenses come with Leica Australia Warranty. \u003cbr\u003eBuy with confidence from a reputable seller. digiDirect does not sell grey-import or grey-market stock. \u003cbr\u003eFor more on our warranty policy please see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.digidirect.com.au\/faq\/warranty\/\"\u003e digiDirect FAQ Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul class=\"mpn\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eMPN - 11686\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGTIN - 4022243116863\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Product is shown in use for illustration only, additional equipment is not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111570620601,"sku":"138779","price":14199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/8897\/7337\/files\/leica_-_noctilux-m_50mm_f1.2_asph_black_anodized_0003_noctilux-m_1_2-50_schwarz_frontal_rgb.jpg?v=1778108932","url":"https:\/\/www.digidirect.com.au\/products\/leica-noctilux-m-50mm-f-1-2-asph-black-anodized","provider":"digiDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
