Precision beyond compare

Redefining picture quality - with the LEICA DG NOCTICRON lens. The popular 42.5mm of middle-telephoto focal distance (35mm camera equivalent: 85mm) is suitable for portraits with rich depth - or any other kind of subject and shooting situation. This LEICA lens features an outstanding aperture of F1.2, which enables you to utilise the beautiful soft focus for more impressive, creative shots.

Nano Surface Coating – clarity from all angles

Put an end to unwanted ghosting and flaring – the Nano Surface Coating has been applied to lenses within the system. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear pictures even if you’re photographing a light source in the dark.

O.I.S. for ultra-sharp photos

Capture what you see on the spur of the moment. Optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) technology built directly into the lens ensures your photos will look great, with sharp, blur-free contours across the entire image.

Ideal for video recording

The lens offers fast, accurate autofocus and smooth aperture changes, critical for the modern content creator, allowing you to record beautiful 4K video and stills without disturbing your subject.
