I just picked up a brand new Noctilux f/0.95 and couldn't be happier. I worried that it would be too difficult to focus and that I was 'in over my head', or that it was a waste of money and lens, given my abilities. I'm about as amateur as they come. Couldn't be further from the truth! First, with an M240, I don't find it difficult to focus wide-open at all. I mean, you have to be careful and take your time, and I shoot continuous drive, adjusting my body by leaning in/out slightly. I shot the Man in the Hat while walking, at 1/180 shutter! The way I am justifying the high price is that it's basically 2 lenses in one. From f/1.4 on it draws like a Summilux by most reviewers' opinion. At f/0.95, it's in a magical league of one. The price difference between the Summilux and Noctliux is "only" $5000. So it's like buying a Summilux and a special 0.95 lens for $5K more. $5K for a 0.95 lens is not at all crazy, and well worth it. Yeah, you have the weight and size; but it's still lighter and smaller than carrying two lenses!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know I published a review of the TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 lens and I think the findings might be interesting for you. I hope you enjoy the reading! Flavio

Do you have both, or have you tried both, the 50mm f/0.95 noctilux-m ASPH, & 50mm f/1.4 summilux-m ASPH? Would you purchase both, or only one and which one? I have the M9 with no lenses yet. In a few days a 50mm 1.4 will arrive. I also have a pre-order on a 0.95, but wonder if that is foolish. I do plan to have the 35mm 1.4 summilux-m, and either the 75mm f/2, or the 90mm f/2, (which would you choose, 75 or 90?). I shoot informal portraits, general people shots, city views (informal archetecture). I enjoy low light no flash shooting, but also do bright light and some flash. I edit with LR3 and CS5. I use to shoot film with a Leica M with medium slow lenses. I switched to digital with the Canon 1Ds Mark II. Now I really want to get back to Leica M shooting. Thanks for any help.
