Noctilux f1 vs Summilux 11868

Among my photographs I found a print showing the swirly bokeh of the Summilux 11868. I took it with an aperture in the middle between f/1.4 and f/2.0.

I hope this helps you to get an impression of the reduced swirl compared to that of the Noctilux.

I'm thinking of selling my Nocti f1. It doesn't get much use (2 films this year) as I'm not really a 50 kind of guy, but I was lulled into purchasing it by its beautiful swirly bokeh. Does the pre asph summilux give a similar look, if less pronounced?

If you're looking for the swirly bokeh, the type 2 summilux 50 will deliver

 

If you have an M240: (use the EVF/LV)

 

- Zeiss Biotar 58/f2 or Zeiss Biotar 75/1.5 - they also deliver swirly bokeh in spades. These shots were taken with the 58/f2:

- Cheaper but heavier option : the Russian Helios 40 or Helios 40-2 (85mm f1.5)

 

- Last but not the least, look for a Leica Summarex 85/1.5 which will also give you swirly bokeh

 

PM me if you're serious about selling your Noctilux f1, I can never have to many of these
