Leica 75mm Noctilux: ART or OVERKILL? | Stunning Model Shoot + SL3 24-90mm Comparison
Griniflix - Adventure8
2,234 views
The Leica 75mm f/1.25 Noctilux is one of the most mythical M-mount lenses ever made…
But is this insanely expensive piece of glass ACTUALLY worth it — especially if you already own the legendary Leica 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux?
In this episode on GriniFlix, I take the 75mm Noctilux into a real fashion model shoot and compare it directly with my Leica SL3 + 24–90mm f/2.8–4.0.
This is not a lab test — it’s a real-world artistic evaluation.
🔥 What you’ll see in the video:
• 75mm Noctilux wide-open portraits at f/1.25
• Side-by-side comparisons with the SL3 and 24–90mm
• Rendering differences: bokeh, fall-off, micro-contrast, colour signature
• Why the 75mm Nocti produces work-of-art images
• Is it worth the investment if you already own the 50mm Noctilux?
• My conclusions after shooting a full fashion session with both systems
If you’re a Leica shooter, lens addict, collector, or someone who wants to understand why certain lenses cost as much as a small car, this video will be a treat.

That said the zoom locked focus and was more hi fi, none of the mild flaring from the lux. They do objectively look different but the lux shines when used differently.
