Review Summary

Not terribly impressed. It creates good images but slightly soft even at the center. This can be pleasing sometimes but a lot of the time I shoot with it the results just look like I missed focus. It's a great looking lens that's well built and reasonably sized but I prefer to shoot with my 50mm M Summilux black chrome edition which looks almost the same and is smaller and cheaper. I doubt I will be keeping this lens.

From the moment it was introduced, the Leica 50mm f/1.2 Noctilux-M Aspherical Lens in Glossy Black has been a beacon of innovation and excellence in the world of photography. This classic M-System lens, now reimagined with an exclusive glossy black paint finish, continues to captivate photographers with its remarkable speed, superior image quality, and distinctive bokeh. The lens is a tribute to its historical predecessor, maintaining the legendary characteristics that have made it a staple in the Leica lineup.
The Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. is meticulously crafted to blend modern lens technology with timeless design. Its glossy black finish is complemented by elegant details such as a red distance scale for feet and a round lens hood, both of which enhance its classic Leica aesthetic. This lens is not just about looks; it is engineered for performance. Its light sensitivity is unparalleled, allowing photographers to capture images with a soft, dreamlike quality at open aperture, characterized by an exquisite and unmistakable bokeh.
The legacy of the Noctilux began in 1966 when it was first unveiled to the world, astonishing expo visitors and the trade press with its groundbreaking optical capabilities. It was the first serially produced lens to incorporate two aspherical elements, a feature that significantly reduced spherical aberrations at maximum aperture and elevated image rendition quality. This pioneering design set a new standard in lens manufacturing and contributed to the Noctilux's legendary status.
Produced from 1966 to 1975, the original Noctilux 50 f/1.2 was a rare gem, with only 1,757 units ever made. It was among the first Leica lenses to feature a black finish, marking a significant milestone in the brand's history. Today, the Leica 50mm f/1.2 Noctilux-M Aspherical Lens in Glossy Black stands as a testament to Leica's enduring commitment to innovation and excellence, offering photographers a unique blend of historical significance and cutting-edge performance.
