The lens offered a maximum aperture that was enormous by the standards of the time, in conjunction with an exceptional optical performance and visual signature that was unmatched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was partly due to the fact that the Noctilux was the world's first serially produced lens to feature two aspherical elements, reducing spherical aberrations at maximum aperture and improving rendition quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Noctilux 50 f\/1.2 was produced from 1966 to 1975, and only 1,757 units were ever made. It was one of the first serial production Leica lenses to feature a black finish.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarefully adapted in line with modern lens design, the Leica Noctilux-M 50 f\/1.2 ASPH. marks the return of one of the most famous lenses made for the Leica M-System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's light sensitivity further contributed to the Noctilux's legendary status and continued lineage - 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\n\u003cp\u003eTo re-issue this iconic lens, the original calculation and construction were only minimally changed, and carefully adapted to the glass types and production methods available today.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lens comes in packaging inspired by the original box, and is complemented by the same lens container that was provided with the original Noctilux 50 f\/1.2 for safe keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-end=\"161\" data-start=\"131\"\u003eWhat Our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"556\"
