The latest rumors suggest that the silver Noctilux-M 1:0.95/50 ASPH lens will be discontinued soon. The lens is currently in stock at only a few retailers, and it is out of stock at the official Leica website:
The Noctilux-M 1:0.95/50 ASPH silver version lens (No. 11667) was introduced in 2010. Here are the lens key features:
- Fastest production aspherical lens in the world: f/0.95
- 8 elements in 5 groups, two aspherical elements, floating element design
- Extremely shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh wide open
- Close focus: 1 meter
- Weight: ~700 g (heavier than the black paint version)
- Filter thread: 60 mm
- Finish: Silver anodized aluminum (not chrome-plated brass like older lenses)
- Current retail price: ≈ $14,225 USD new (Leica list price)
라이카에서 가장 밝은 렌즈인 F 0.95 녹티 렌즈 중에서 실버 렌즈군이 곧 단종이라는 군요.
아직 확정은 아니지만, 라이카 공식 홈에서는 단종됐고,
일반 셀러에서 재고들이 판매되고 나면 단종 수순을 밟을 듯 합니다.
