This retro edition lens is modelled on a screw mount lens produced at the Leitz factory in Wetzlar from 1955 to 1963. Its unmistakable signature is almost impossible to reproduce by digital means and makes the lens a true classic that is now reborn in a revised edition, with exactly the same optical properties. The fact that this is no simple reconstruction is obvious at first sight: the design of the Summaron-M has been refined down to the essentials, without losing any of the character of its legendary ancestor.

Carefully 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.

Its light sensitivity (which is enormous even by today?s standards) further contributed to the Noctilux?slegendary 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.

Technically based on Noctilux M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. Outer parts in glossy black paint finish. White inked scales | feet scale red inked. Classic round lens hood glossy black paint. Packaging with classic transparent lens container
