Product information "LEITZ NOCTILUX 1,2/50mm with lens hood"
Good condition, includes sun visor, customer care certificate and two year warranty.
One of the most mythologised lenses ever made for the M camera because of its scarcity, ascribed image properties and the very elaborate production technique of the two aspherical surfaces. There were only few persons who could manually grind the lens surfaces with the equipment then available. It took a long time to shape one surface to the required form and a high proportion of lenses had to be thrown away.
The goal of the Noctilux was to create a lens with excellent wide open performance but still having a relatively compact size. The additional 2/5 stop compared to the Summilux, plus the reduction of coma and freedom from flare and secondary reflections, was deemed necessary for a lens that could be used effectively in low light but with strong point sources.
