The 50mm f/1 NOCTILUX-M reviewed here is not aspherical. This 50mm f/1 is a conventional spherical design, using special high-index glass to get its performance. The Noctilux line of lenses has an almost mythical status to them; being incredibly sharp, even wide open, and have such a unique and very distinguished look, all whilst allowing the photographer to shoot almost in the dark. This, coupled with the tale that the glass for the lenses is prepared in underground ovens for a number of years, just adds to its extremely coveted status. I’ve always wondered what the meeting must have been like when the designers of the first Noctilux, Helmut Marx and Paul Sindel pitched the idea to the executives at Leica! They wanted to make the world’s first low-light 50mm lens for a 35mm camera with exotic glass that had to be hand polished over and over again with the tiniest tolerances and sold at a cost far beyond anything else on the market.****************************************************************************************Don't miss this rare collectible Leica Noctilux 50mm f/1.0 lens from the first batch made in 1975. This super clean Noctilux f/1.0 50mm E58 Ver. 1 lens sells with NO RESERVE at price of $7995.
