The original vintage production.
Spectacular condition.
Original first version Noctilux 50mm f1.2
The first lens made by Leica to have aspherical glass elements
Extremely rare and hard to find, especially in this condition
Only 2450 examples were ever made in 4 batches between 1966-1973
I have never had the pleasure to offer such a condition, complete example like this before
Some have had boxes, some have been MINT but never like this all together, matching and just spectacular!
A must have for any collector or enthusiast
