Noctilux-M 50 f/0.95 ASPH. overview

The Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/0.95 ASPH. is a 50mm f/0.95 prime for full-frame cameras on Leica M, announced by Leica in September 2008. 10 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for fast-moving subjects and close-ups.

New, it sells for $13,295 to $14,400 at the 3 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $7,995.

Worth comparing it with the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH. and Leica Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH..
