The original Noctilux was f/1.2 and was made in quite limited numbers
between 1966 and 1975.  This contained an aspherical element, the only
Leitz lens to do so.

The second Noctilux design is f/1.0 and was introduced in 1976.  While not
common, this is substantially easier to find used than the first version,
which has become a hot collector's item.
