Re: Why The Noctilux?
Dan actually a great question. i have been sort of on the fence about it for awhile until i got to use one in Germany for 10 days and really started to like it. Okay i come from DSLR's so the thing about about heavy and big and hard to focus is a very mute point for me . I handheld the 180 F2 Leica and 200 1.8 canon for years so that stuff is meaningless to me and the Nocti i can focus as well as my 75 lux so that is not the issue. I guess at the f1 setting it has that special look and stopped down a touch very very nice and i really like the look of it. but the 50 lux is the best 50mm in the industry and really hard to touch but to me the Nocti is a add on to it and not the replacement i thought it could be. i like the 66mm on the M8 and use that more than a 35mm on a M8. guess i like that little extra reach and i adore the 75mm lux lens. So i have one coming with my voucher , i think i will keep it for a while but if i need a sharp 50 than the lux gets mounted.
