PRODUCT INFORMATION
LEICA NOCTILUX-M f/1 50mm
The
speed of the Noctilux surpasses even that of the human eye. As the world’s
first production f/1 lens for 35 mm photography it is a milestone in the history
of photography. Its outstanding contrast rendition provides a delicate
separation of barely discernible colour differences and an exact resolution of
the finest details. Its maximal freedom of stray light and coma results in a
practically flare-free reproduction of point sources of light. This lens makes a
unique and fascinating pictorial expression possible.
It is not only excellently suitable for photography at twilight, but also for night time photography without flash.
The light of a candle is sufficient for beautifully clear pictorial results. Image details can be emphasized by taking advantage of the very shallow depth of field at full aperture. The contours in the unsharp areas of such pictures dissolve in a nearly abstract form and colon aesthetic.
