About Leica 35mm f/1.2 Noctilux-M
The first Noctilux lens in a 35mm focal length. The fastest 35 mm fixed focal length in the M-System.
The Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. brings legendary speed into its most compact form. A reduced minimum focusing distance, an extremely shallow depth of field, and a uniquely charismatic bokeh create a distinctive visual signature and open up new creative freedom.
Photographer's Dream, Now Made Real
The Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. provides the peak optical performance of a Noctilux in a new, compact design that perfectly aligns with the precise nature of the M-System. 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.
Where Space and Subject Meet Anew
This is a lens that creates closeness without forcing it. Its 35mm fixed focal length produces the velvety 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 between context and subject.
There are enough surroundings to frame stories and people against the particularly vivid Noctilux background at a wide aperture. This makes subjects stand out in three dimensions even from a distance. At close range, another strength becomes apparent: the combination of a small close focus distance and extremely high lens speed creates a depth that immerses you in the soul of a moment rather than just seeing it.
Making the Very Best Out of Very Little
The Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 offers maximum freedom: it yields maximum light, even in conditions characterized by barely perceptible ambient illumination. Its extremely high lens speed with the aperture fully open enables you to take photos using only available light, even in challenging environment where the human eye barely sees at all.
At parties, concerts or with late-night street scenes, it captures authentic moods without altering the scene with a flash or any other artificial intervention. The wide aperture creates a distinctive cinematic aesthetic with natural color rendering, exceptional contrast and atmospheric depth, giving you creative control over light, shadow and composition, even in minimal residual light.
Closing in on the Technically Impossible
Pure precision, condensed into a 416 gram, 5.02 centimeter package: The Noctilux-M 35 comprises ten lenses in five groups, including three aspherical elements manufactured using the PGM process, as well as a patented focusing mechanism that ensures consistently high imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range.
The large focusing angle enables exceptionally precise manual focusing, with a close focus distance of just 0.5 meters. This is supported by a mechanism that is handcrafted in Wetzlar with meticulous attention to detail that can be perceived in every millimeter. A true statement on precision optics - and the timeless expression of genuine pioneering spirit.
Form Perfected - Made in Germany
PGM (Precision Glass Molding) makes it possible to produce highly complex aspherical lenses with special geometries. At the heart of this technology are mold inserts made of high-purity tungsten carbide, which are produced specially in Wetzlar.
With tolerances set at a maximum of three nanometers per millimeter 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 hand polishing before applying a diamond-like coating that transfers this perfection precisely to the highly refractive glass at temperatures of up to 700 Degree C.
