Noctilux-M 0.95/50mm 'S.T. Dupont' Edition 0.95 *

Under its new brand '0.95', Leica Camera AG presented a collection of premium accessories that unite extraordinary quality and iconic product design. The name 0.95 stands – as a homage to the Leica Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH. – for the commitment to exceeding what is technically possible. All products of this brand therefore also have a unique character and the ability to surprise and delight their owners. They embody Leica’s passion for transforming innovative technologies and materials into tangible experiences that fulfil the highest expectations – within and beyond the world of photographic tools. A special limited edition of 95 Leica Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH. lenses were released to celebrate the new 0.95 brand. The lenses boast the same exceptional performance features of the standard production model but are distinguished by their unique design. In contrast to the standard production models, the special-edition lenses feature an engraved white-filled ‘0.95’ denoting the maximum aperture, while all other engravings are picked out in a glossy dark grey to merge discreetly into the matt-black anodised finish. The design features unique to the lens distinctive knurling and gloss-finished elements on the lens barrel and the front lens cap. This is the first time that a glossy anodised finish has been employed as a design element; such a finish has previously only been used for sliding surfaces inside a lens. The offered lens no.4659822 bears the special edition number 23/95 and is in brand new condition, complete with all accessories, and comes with a set of matching '0.95' accessories - a keychain, a fountain pen, and a lighter - all new and unused.
