A New Legend Arrives: Leica Unveils the Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH.

Leica has officially expanded its legendary Noctilux family, unveiling a lens many photographers have dreamed of: the Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. This groundbreaking release marks the first time the iconic Noctilux character has been engineered into the classic 35mm focal length for the M-mount system.

Featuring an all-new design, each lens is meticulously handcrafted at Leica's headquarters in Wetzlar, Germany, upholding the brand's commitment to unparalleled quality. Despite its remarkable f/1.2 aperture, the lens is engineered for practical use, weighing a modest 419g and measuring just 5cm in length with a 6.5cm diameter.

For over 50 years, the Noctilux series was exclusively available in a 50mm focal length, with a 75mm version added in 2017. The arrival of a 35mm option is a significant milestone, providing photographers who favor the versatile reportage perspective with the extreme light-gathering power and unique rendering that defines the Noctilux line.

The f/1.2 maximum aperture makes this the fastest 35mm lens Leica has ever produced for the M-mount, surpassing the venerable Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4. This incredible speed not only excels in the most challenging low-light situations but also offers extraordinary creative control over depth of field, enabling photographers to achieve stunning subject isolation and dreamlike bokeh.
