Leica Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH

This Leica Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH lens is a prototype, with only 20 copies built and sold worldwide. The Leica Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH Lens is the most recent addition to the iconic Leica Noctilux lens range. With an aperture of up to f/1.25, this lens can achieve extremely fine DOF and can precisely distinguish the subject from the background. This lens also has a smaller depth of field than the Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. With a 0.85m closest focusing distance and a 1:8.8 image reproduction ratio, it is the ideal lens for portraits and close-up photography.

It has a 9-element optical design with six groups that use anomalous dispersion and low color dispersion glass to greatly decrease aberrations and provide images with exquisite clarity. high. To regulate spherical aberrations for greater sharpness and to assist reduce distortion, two large-diameter aspherical elements are used. For incredibly smooth and even bokeh, this lens has 11 circular aperture blades. The built-in hood may be adjusted open and closed to help protect the front of the head lens from ghosting and flare.

Overall, if you're looking for a portrait lens similar to the 75mm Summilux but with sharpness comparable to modern Leica lenses, this is the lens for you. There is no other lens like the 75 Noctilux, believe me. Despite the increased weight and cost, it is unique. So, by that metric, justifying one's desire for the Leica 75mm f/1.25 Noctilux-M ASPH isn't as strange as it may appear on this list.
