Epimetheus Posted April 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I took a few test shots in a cemetery nearby: Pictures from Hietaniemi cemetery with Leica M9 and Noctilux | Photoblog of Mr. Markus Puustinen I like the results from the combo but it is quite big and heavy.

Advertisement Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Hi Epimetheus, Take a look here Pictures with Leica M9 and Noctilux classic. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ChristopherGrant Posted April 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2010 I'm a brand new M9 owner and have been considering various lenses. One of them was the older Noctilux. Judging by your photographs, the Noctilux just got pushed up the ladder. As well, you mention it's quite heavy, but I imagine coming from a full bodied Canon SLR, it's still a bit lighter. Thanks for sharing! Christopher Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! Christopher I would say it's a lot smaller and lighter than 85L and maybe equal to 50L in size and weight. It was a long time since I had those so I could remember wrong.

erl Posted April 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2010 "Big & Heavy" is a relative comment. I have come from a substantial Hasselblad kit to 'Leica world'. There is no way a Leica kit could be classified as big & heavy after my experience. The M9 + Noctilux is a fabulous combo, but compared to using, say, any f2.0 lens it is bigger and heavier. Frankly, I have never experienced any serious bit of gear that was not bigger and heavier than 'toy' stuff, so 'get used to it' is the only message. It is worth the extra energy and every advantage has a price to be paid. I'm just grateful it is an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
