Ok - call me crazy, weird, mad, bored, out of focus, trend follower - what ever you like. I have it. Sorry - only iPhone photos. Unpacking and first impressions: Beauty - compared to many others. Impractical - compared to state of the art in handling. Unique - compared to many nowadays bubble-swirly-something bokeh cameras. Unexpected - in its characteristics and rendering. The beauty - I like it’s look on a silver M. Yes - it’s impractical. Turning the aperture ring means turning the focus ring too. Too much rotation for focussing. Hood fixing - OMG. Removing lens cap means removing hood unintentionally. So it gives an idea what photography meant in 30’s…. However - I accept it. It’s an impractical beauty. And the first guy I showed it said: „Wow - a real historical camera an looking brand new!“ Unique - as far as I can see after just a few shots in the city. I have a Petzval 58 and a Meyer Görlitz Trioplan 100mm. I’m going to sell them now to make my Thambar a little bit cheaper to me. Because it’s far beyond these lenses. All these "swirly-bokeh-pieces" are nothing against the bokeh and the glow of this lens. Unexpected - in street lights at night wide open IMO shows an ugly and a beautiful side: With center spot filter ugly rings or donuts. Without interesting glow around lights and nice or at least acceptable bokeh-bubbles out of focus. Yes - it is sharp - even wide open - eh - somehow. Kind of „soft sharp“. Low micro contrast but letters can be read - in center. To me it's really amazing. And as mentioned - glow everywhere where a bit of light comes across. In short: This lens is crazy. And I seem to become Thambar-crazy. Unfortunately the subject which this lens is made for - portrait and nature - I can't take before later this month. Of course I’ll show some examples here then. For the moment I have just a few shots made on my way from my friendly dealer - and just to see the effects of rendering. After all this partly boring examples in the web I hardly dare to add some others. OK - I do.

The vintage "character" look is exploding heavily on the silver screen... Dune 2 and Poor Things both used Petzval 57 lenses for brutal bokeh swirl, the former movie used IronGlass (Soviet rehoused MIR, Jupiter, Tair and Helios lenses) and the latter movie even did a full on circular fisheye in many scenes. Grain, smeared edges of de-tuned anamorphs (like those custom built by ARRI for Grieg Fraser's The Batman), Zack Snyder rehoused the Canon 50mm f0.95 “Dream Lens“ which was - used ONLY WIDE OPEN - the heart and soul of his set on Army of the Dead... Flaws and imperfections of lens characters are hitting Hollywood DoP's hearts big time. Time for that swirly bokeh of Summarit 50/1.5's wide open look... What is your favorite ultra character Leica M or LTM mount lens? Mine must be this one. -
Well, soap bubble bokeh lovers, this big blac... this grand sombre monolith made of aviation grade aluminium is for you - for 210$ plus shipping in glorious Leica M mount.

I just had a Leica 35mm summilux pre-a lens and notice a weird thing in the bokeh. As you can see, the bokeh circled are not smooth, instead there are nets connected by light spot inside. Is this supposed to be a lens issue? I shot on M6 with Fuji xtra400, F1.4 and scanned with epson V750 Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!! (Also I don’t know what’s that yellowish thing behind the green plant..)

Someone asked about this in the review thread, but I thought it might be of more general interest. Images shot on a tripod with focusing via EVF, Camera was M10-R. In each group there is 35 summilux at f1.4, at f2 and then APO at f2 followed by a screenshot of 100% magnification of the focused area from Lightroom (f2 shots) All shot DNG, with minimal exposure adjustment where necessary. FLE at f1.4 FLE at f2 APO at f2 Finally a 100% screenshot of the comparison both at f2 FLE at f1.4 FLE at f2 APO at f2 Finally a 100% screenshot of the comparison both at f2 FLE at f1.4 FLE at f2 APO at f2 Finally a 100% screenshot of the comparison both at f2 FLE at f1.4 FLE at f2 APO at f2 Finally a 100% screenshot of the comparison both at f2

Here's a marginally interesting read about the Noctilux. I can't agree with much of what he has to say about the Noctilux being hard to work with, but he did hit one nail on the head when he observes that "...the best things in life are rarely rational." Noctilux lenses are maligned by some, as is the bokeh they produce. I suspect it is not out of a distaste for bokeh or a misunderstanding of how to effectively use it as a composition tool. I suspect that it is based on a hatred of the Noctilux lenses based on the price, as is the case for some who hate all M cameras and lenses because of their price tags, which is an utterly childish and self-centered outlook IMHO. The author is using the 0.95 Noctilux, which may be harder to work ith than the older f/1.0 Noctilux, which I have. I'm wondering if those who have used both the 0.95 and the 1.0 if the newer f/0.95 version is harder to work with than its older sibling? A link to the article: https://www.35mmc.com/18/08/2019/bokeh-worship-the-leica-noctilux-m-50mm-f-0-95-asph-by-steven-bleistein/ Thoughts?

I'm a former Canon user, and the 85mm f/1.2L II was practically my standard lens, because I love bokeh :-) Has anyone here owned both this lens and the Noctilux f/0.95? The 85mm has longer focal length, but the Noctilux is faster. Do you think the extra light can be a substitute for the shorter focal length in regards to bokeh? Which one do you prefer (maybe a stupid question in this forum)? I find the 50mm angle more versatile than 85mm, so I think the Noctilux could be the perfect lens for me … if I ever can afford it!

I have ended up with an 'accidental collection' of Summars as I seemed to get one with almost every camera that I collected. In recent times I have started to buy them separately, including a rigid example. In the article I show some examples of the bokeh from this lens when used on a digital M. I also have photos of my Summar collection. The bokeh varies according to the f stop used and the subject matter, but it is always interesting. There are some examples in the article. I really like the output from Summar, a lens which has an unjustified bad reputation in some quarters. The article is linked below. http://macfilos.com/photo/2016/12/1/leitz-summar-review-the-last-rose-of-summar William

The following review of the Canon 50mm f/1.0 lens brands it as "wholly impractical" which is a label I would expect the reviewer to also hang on any of the Leica Noctilux M lenses; but is this an accurate assessment of the 50mm f/1.0 lens as a whole - regardless of who makes it? I suppose that depends on how one defines the term "wholly impractical." If that definition hinges on price, there are a lot of lenses and cameras out there that the reviewer would also brand as "wholly impractical." A 50/1.0 lens is capable of more than shooting at maximum aperture. A lens that offers f/1.0 or f/0.95 is a specialized lens; it offers the image maker choices that are not available with slower 50 mm lenses. Yes, any 50/1.0 (or 0.95) lens is big, heavy and costly; that's a given. But specialized is not tantamount to impractical IMHO. Thoughts?
