Leica finally made a 35mm Noctilux — and it's a dreamy compact M-series lens for street photographers, with a shocking price tag

• Leica has unveiled its first M-series 35mm Noctilux lens, with a maximum f/1.2 aperture
• It joins the 50mm f/0.95 and 75mm f/1.25 to make up a trio of supreme low-light lenses
• It's globally available at launch, costing $9,650 / £7,700 (Australia pricing TBC)

Noctilux lenses are legendary, ever since Leica unveiled its first a full 60 years ago – a 50mm f/1.2 lens in 1966 – a lens which will set you back around $50,000 / £30,000, if you can find one today, or you can pick up Light Lens Lab's homage for much less.
