50mm is a lens that can tell a story, it can make people stand out from the environment. The Leica Noctilux 50 1.2 is good at separating people from their surroundings, but it’s best for full-body portraits. This lens is not ideal for half-length portraits. Due to lack of clarity, the boundary between the half-length portrait and the environment is not clear, not as good as summicron 50f2 v4 and summilux 50 1.4 pre-asph. I think shooting full-body portraits is the correct way to use Noctilux 50 1.2.

At first I was disappointed with the Leica noctilux 1.2 replica. When setting the aperture to 1.2, it was not as good as the noctilux 50 0.95. But later I discovered that when shooting full-body portraits with the noctilux 50 1.2 asph, a vortex composed of clarity and blur was formed in the center of the picture. It gives you a sharpness that cannot be ignored in the focus, and gives you a quiet and mysterious blurred background in the out of focus. This is a style that no other Leica lens has. The lens is set at a distance of 4 meters and the aperture is set to 1.2. I can even use it to estimate the focus and take blind shots. I can get relatively clear full-body portraits and get dreamy bokeh, which is sweet. “You say life is like a dream, and I say life is like honey. What’s the difference? They’re not all hazy. You are there in the haze, and you and me are enough… Simply love what you love, all the flowers are for you Open, all the scenery is arranged for you.”

I have been practicing photography for several years, and I have a little experience. Beginners must not be looked down upon. It is easier to see the Buddha nature with a beginner’s mind. This is also the reason why many people pursue the original Leica lenses. Even if Leica officially reproduces this Noctilux, it will not weaken collectors’ pursuit of the original Noctilux at all, because the original intention is priceless.
