M마운트 렌즈는 35.7 렌즈인데 APO 입니다. 조리개가 살짝 아쉽지만 크기로 극복했고
동시에 APO 화질을 탑재해서.. 꽤 기대가 되는데, 가격이 괜찮으면 구입해보고 싶어지네요.
L마운트 렌즈는 50 F2 트리싸이트라는 이름이네요. 3가지 장면 연출이 가능한가 봅니다.

Xiaomi and Leica are leveling up their partnership from co-engineering to strategic co-creation starting with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica debuting globally on February 28 in Barcelona.
This special version features a functional Leica Camera Ring for manual zoom and focus, the iconic red dot branding, and exclusive “Leica Essential” modes that recreate the look of the legendary M3 and M9 cameras.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica introduces the mobile industry’s first CAI Photo Authenticity Protection, which uses a dedicated security chip to digitally sign your photos and prove they aren’t AI-generated fakes.
Aside from confirming the global launch of the Xiaomi 17 series that’s happening on February 28 in Barcelona, Xiaomi shared an update on its partnership with Leica. In the joint letter, Xiaomi said that their partnership with Leica enters a new era, “moving from co-engineering to strategic co-creation.”
This is a big deal, as this means that Xiaomi and Leica will work together to develop devices that focus on imaging. This is more than software; this means that both brands are also working together with hardware as well.
One of the first products to come out of their strategic co-creation partnership is the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica, which has the latter’s iconic red dot branding and a physical control ring in the camera module called the Leica Camera Ring, a dual-tone design, and a knurled middle frame. It also has Leica Essential mode, which simulates the image qualities of the M3 and 9, two of Leica’s most iconic cameras. It’s also one of the few phones to have CAI Photo Authenticity Protection technology, which adds a digital signature to all photos taken with it.
We expect the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica to be made available globally, but it might come in a different name and be called the Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi.
오랫동안 협업을 이어가고 있는 샤오미와 라이카가 그 관계를 더욱 돈독히 하려나 봅니다. 파트너 쉽을 더욱 강화한다는 뉴스입니다.
이런저런 뉴스들이 나오는 것 같은데, 라이카 지분 관련 뉴스들이 나온지 얼마 되지 않은 시점이라 뭔가 있어 보이기까지 하는군요…ㅎㅎ
라이카가 파나소닉과 그동안 아주 밀접했는데, 그 정도의 관계가 샤오미와도 만들어지는게 아닐지..

Leica released new firmware updates for all M10/M11/MEV1 cameras with added support for the Leica Noctilux M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH lens that was announced today:
Distinctive Noctilux rendering with smooth, natural bokeh
Optimized for high-resolution Leica M cameras
Advanced optical design with floating element
Three aspherical elements produced using Precision Glass Molding (PGM)
Extended close focusing distance down to 0.5 m
Integrated, extendable lens hood
Handcrafted in Wetzlar, Germany
Additional information on the new lens can be found at Reddotforum:
The Leica Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH.
Leica Camera AG presents the first Noctilux M-Lens with a focal length of 35mm
Since first being introduced in 1966, the name ‘Noctilux’ has represented the pinnacle of optical craftsmanship at Leica. The name is made up of the Latin words ‘noctu’ and ‘lux’, meaning ‘night’ and ‘light’, and refers to the exceptional speed of this lens series. With a maximum aperture of up to f/0.95, Noctilux lenses are considered to be the epitome of optical development, opening up creative possibilities beyond the ordinary. They deliver images with an unrivalled visual aesthetic. With the new Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH., Leica Camera AG is presenting the first Noctilux M-Lens in the company’s history to feature a 35 mm focal length.
Like all Noctilux lenses, the latest addition to the family impresses with its exceptional speed and superior imaging performance. The new, compact Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. produces clear, high-contrast images characterised by a distinctive look. The shallow depth of field at a wide aperture precisely separates subject and space, creating a velvety soft bokeh and lending images tangible depth as well as a cinematic atmosphere. Stopping down the aperture allows you to selectively increase the depth of field. A floating element within the complex optical construction ensures consistent performance across the entire focusing range, from the close focus distance to infinity.
Up until now, the strength of Noctilux glass has been leveraged exclusively for 50 and 75 mm focal lengths. The new Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. now makes this strength available for the versatile 35 mm focal length for the very first time. The perfect combination of a wide aperture and natural perspective makes it ideal for outstanding portrait, reportage, available-light and street photography. Subjects are clearly in focus thanks to precise separation, while retaining their context thanks to harmonious transitions to the background.
This new lens is the first Noctilux to feature an extended close focus distance down to 50 cm. When used with the new Leica M EV1 and its high-resolution integrated electronic viewfinder, focusing is particularly convenient across the entire focusing range. M-Cameras with a rangefinder can focus to a distance of 70 cm via the optical viewfinder. In the close-up range of 70–50 cm, focusing is carried out via Live View on the rear LCD panel or the Visoflex 2 clip-on viewfinder. The large focusing angle of the Noctilux-M 35 supports this, thereby enabling precise and sensitive work.
The new Leica Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. has been optimised for M-Cameras with high-resolution image sensors, in addition to having been completely redesigned and handcrafted in Wetzlar. Decades of experience and state-of-the-art production technologies have gone into its development. This includes processing special glass materials and aspherical lens elements manufactured in Wetzlar using innovative Precision Glass Moulding (PGM) technology, which shapes lenses in a highly precise process, achieving exceptional quality standards. The optical design comprises ten lenses in five groups, including three aspherical lenses. A floating element ensures consistent imaging performance over the entire focusing range. The integrated lens hood reduces glare and reflections, ensuring high contrast and brilliant colour rendering, even with backlighting. Measuring just 5 cm in length, with a diameter of 6.5 cm, and weighing only 416 g, the new lens also impresses with its remarkably compact size.
The Leica Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH. will be available worldwide as of 29 January 2026 from Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and authorised dealers. The recommended retail price is €8,950 incl. VAT.
