Optical & Portrait Metric Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. What It Means in Practice
Upper-Body Working Distance 2.01 m 2.01 m Identical working distance—both frame an upper-body portrait from the exact same spot.
Effective Focal Length (Breathing) 51.7 mm (+3.4%) 50.6 mm (+1.3%) At 2.0 m, Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. frames like a 51.7 mm lens while Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. frames like a 50.6 mm lens.
Depth of Field (Sharp Zone) 14 cm (1.95 m – 2.08 m) 29 cm (1.88 m – 2.17 m) The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. has a 53% thinner focus zone (14 cm vs. 29 cm)—requiring more precise eye focus.
Entrance Pupil Diameter 52.6 mm (f/0.95) 25.0 mm (f/2) Distant background blur discs are 110% larger on the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH..
Minimum Focus Distance 1 m 0.7 m Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. focuses 30 cm closer (1 m vs. 0.7 m) for tighter close-ups.

Which blurs the background more, Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. or Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH.?

At the same subject framing, distant background blur scales with the entrance pupil diameter (focal length ÷ f-number). Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. at f/0.95 has a 52.6 mm entrance pupil, while Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. at f/2 has a 25.0 mm entrance pupil.

How does working distance differ between Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. and Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH.?

For an upper-body portrait, Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. stands 2.01 m from the subject (sharp zone 14 cm, from 1.95 m to 2.08 m), whereas Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. stands 2.01 m away (sharp zone 29 cm, from 1.88 m to 2.17 m).

How do the optical designs of Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. and Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. compare?

Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. uses 14 elements in 11 groups (US20150192839A1, effective focal length 51.7 mm at portrait distance). Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. uses 6 elements in 4 groups (US4123144A, effective focal length 50.6 mm).
