Brand Leica System Leica M

The Leica Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH marks a milestone for the legendary Noctilux family: it is the first Noctilux with close focusing, and the first at the 35mm focal length. Its extreme f/1.2 speed lets you shoot in light where the eye can barely see — without flash — while producing the velvety, painterly bokeh that only a Noctilux delivers.

Leica achieved this in a compact body suited to the M system, using three aspherical elements made with Precision Glass Molding and a patented floating element that maintains performance throughout the focus range. Focusing down to just 0.5m, it renders with cinematic depth, natural color, and exceptional contrast. Handcrafted in Wetzlar, it is a lens to build a body of work around. Come experience it with our team.

A First for the Noctilux Family

The Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH is the first Noctilux to offer close focusing and the first built at 35mm. A reduced close-focus distance of just 0.5m brings you nearer to your subject than any previous Noctilux, expanding how and what you can shoot with the family's signature look.

Extreme f/1.2 Speed

The f/1.2 maximum aperture enables photography in available light where the human eye barely sees, without resorting to flash. The wide aperture produces an extremely shallow depth of field for pronounced, three-dimensional subject separation and a cinematic aesthetic with natural color and atmospheric depth.

Peak Optics in a Compact Body

Three aspherical elements, manufactured using Precision Glass Molding, deliver peak Noctilux performance in a new, compact design aligned with the precise nature of the M-System. A patented floating element maintains consistently high imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range.

Handcrafted in Wetzlar

A large focusing angle enables exceptionally precise manual focusing, and an extendable, integrated lens hood pulls out and locks into place. The Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH is handcrafted in Wetzlar, Germany, with meticulous attention to detail.
