The Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH glossy black lens and the Leica M11 glossy black camera are two fascinating new products that Leica has just launched for photography fans. According to the brand, these are a celebration of Leica’s classic design combined with cutting-edge technology, not merely tools.
A Throwback to Leica’s Roots
Leica’s legendary M3 camera from 1954 is referenced in the glossy black Leica M11. The brass top plate’s glossy black paint finish is more than just decorative; it gradually acquires a distinctive patina that gives each camera a distinctive feel.
Leica has eschewed the traditional red emblem in favor of a simple, minimalist design. The textured ISO and time dials, silver-chromed shutter button, and engraved “Leica” emblem are just a few of the details that demonstrate how carefully and precisely this camera was constructed.
A Lens That Completes the Look
Leica has also released the Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH glossy black lens to go with the M11. This lens is popular for taking eye-catching pictures because of its reputation for handling low light conditions and producing lovely blurred backgrounds, or bokeh.
It is a wonderful match for the M11 because of its glossy black finish, which also extends to the lens hood and covers. In addition to being fashionable, it is designed for photographers who require excellent performance.
Accessories That Add a Touch of Style
To complement the new camera and lens, Leica has also introduced a few accessories. Now available in a new taupe hue are an M11 protector, an M-System case, and a leather carrying strap. They are constructed from high-quality cowhide leather and are intended to protect and enhance the appearance of your equipment.
Cost and Availability
The Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH glossy black lens costs EUR 7,900, while the Leica M11 glossy black lens costs EUR 8,950. Both are currently offered by Leica storefronts, online, and specialty shops.
