Purchased new in 2022 by one of our long-time Leica clients. This beauty became a part of his unused Leica collection. He kept it pristine in its box. The new Glossy Black Paint version coming out in December 2024 peaked his interest. He is trading this one for the flashy glossy version :-)

This lens was never mounted on a camera and was always kept in its container from day one. It’s as good as brand-new.  

A new version of one of the most famous Leica M lenses returns. The Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. has been carefully adapted to the design of modern lenses and, despite modern technology, delivers the unique look at open aperture that continues to impress creative photographers today. Once it has been stopped down to f/2.8, the Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. delivers sharp images that live up to any quality expectations of modern-day digital photograph.
