Leica Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH.
This is a full-frame prime lens for Leica M, covering 75 mm and a maximum aperture of f/1.25. Released in 2018, it weighs 1050 g. That combination suits portrait and low-light photography.
It is a high-performance short telephoto prime lens designed for Leica M-mount cameras. With an exceptionally bright maximum aperture of f/1.25, this lens offers an extremely shallow depth of field, allowing photographers to create images with a distinctive visual signature and beautiful bokeh. The optical design includes 9 elements in 6 groups, featuring two aspherical elements and a floating element to ensure outstanding imaging performance from the closest focusing distance of 0.85 meters to infinity. The lens incorporates an 11-blade diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus areas and includes a built-in, lockable lens hood to protect against stray light and physical impacts. While it delivers exceptional image quality, the lens is manual focus only and lacks weather sealing, so care should be taken in challenging environmental conditions.
