Product Information
There is nothing quite like the original f1 Noctilux. It’s design is very similar to the very first Summilux f1.4 but with a new special glass recipe that Dr Mandler developed for Leitz he was able to add half a stop to the maximum aperture. Released in 1975 ours is the second version from the late 80’s with slightly improved coatings. The contrast is low when wide open but there is hardly any barrel distortion. Bokeh is super dreamy and 3D textured, this is one of the best portrait lenses we’ve ever tested.
