This lens presents in very good physical condition—as shown in the photos, it retains a clean, well-preserved appearance with only minor signs of normal use (no dents, deep scratches, or significant wear). The exterior finish remains crisp, and the iconic E58 lens hood (original to the lens) is included and in matching condition. Functionally, it’s fully tested and working flawlessly: The focus ring operates with smooth, consistent damping (true to Leica’s premium feel), and the focus scale aligns accurately for precise framing. The aperture ring clicks cleanly between f/1.0 to f/16, with the diaphragm contracting evenly and reliably at all stops. Critically, the lens elements and coatings are perfectly intact—no scratches, haze, fungus, or separation, ensuring the sharp, luminous, and characteristic "Noctilux glow" that this lens is famous for (ideal for low-light, portrait, and artistic photography). It features the Leica M mount (compatible with all Leica M-series rangefinder bodies, both film and digital), making it a versatile piece for any Leica system. Produced in the 1960s (falling within the 1900-2000 era), this first-generation Noctilux is not just a tool, but a piece of photographic history—rare, collectible, and still capable of delivering stunning, timeless imagery.
