The most extraordinary production lens Leica has ever made — the Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH achieves a maximum aperture wider than any other lens in the M system, producing a depth of field at full aperture so thin that a subject's eyelashes can be sharp while their eye is not. At f/0.95 it gathers nearly double the light of an f/1.4 lens, making it genuinely capable in near-darkness. The rendering wide open is unlike any other lens in existence — dream-like subject separation with a micro-contrast and three-dimensionality that cannot be replicated digitally. A singular creative instrument for Leica M-mount cameras.
There is no other lens like the Noctilux — f/0.95 is not just a number, it is a wholly different way of seeing that no digital process can approximate.
