This interesting new offering from Meyer-Optik Goerlitz of Germany will hit the market in May of this year and will be Leica M mount compatible. I am looking forward to seeing some test shots made with this lens.

Ein Erlebnis besonderer Art mit M9 und Noc 0,95 durch die Stadt zu gehen - auf der suche nach den Grenzen. Dieses Objektiv ist ein Kunstwerk der Technik und gibt einen enormen Gestaltungsrahmen. Das Bild mit Blick durch die Auslagenscheibe in einen Weinkeller mit Reflexion des Gehsteigpflasters ist so ein erster Gehversuch.

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?

At a local photo show today I managed to try all three new fast lenses. The Noctilux was a 'demo' lens and I was able to shoot at f/0.95 only. I simply tried all three from about the same place (1m in the case of the Nocti, 0.7m for the others) focused on the yellow dot on the binoculars, all wide open (I'm not sure that I nailed the Nocti focus!). This gives an indication of the depth of field at its least (wide open and closest focus) for anyone who is interested in these lenses. All felt very comfortabl and although heavy, still appeared smaller than nearest equivalent SLR lenses. I'd say any camera that they are mounted on would benefit from a handgrip (the 24 may not need this as much as the others). I thried the 21 at f/8 and it was capable of recording very fine detail indeed.
