Leica Camera AG: New Lens Manufacturing Process

Leica Camera AG is breaking with tradition by using a new glass pressing technique for lens manufacturing. This method, employed at their Wetzlar site, involves pressing glass in carbide molds at high temperatures and pressure to achieve precise aspherical shapes. The new Noctilux M-35 lens, retailing around €9,000, is the first product to fully utilize this technology, resulting in a lighter and more compact design without compromising light intensity.
