We already have a very extensive 'Mandler Magic' topic, but as much I am keen on Mandler's signature look and his contribution to the "Leica glow", there is another very distinguished gentleman in the 'House of Leica' that as a leader of Leica's optical design team since 2002 gave us a bunch of new high performance M-Lenses and pushed the terms FLE, ASPH and APO towards modern Leica perfection. He was the guy that had the balls to say Dr. Mandler's 75mm Summilux 1.4 was his *least* favorite design and went on to "Make Summilux great again" - all the way down to 21mm. Show us some of the "clinical look" of the Peter Karbe magic and do tell what lens he designed is your favorite...

Hi, I was wondering if we will get a 50 or 70 mm Noctolux but SL Body and AF. Would you love it? Would you buy it? Cheers

I know, another question about a lens. And I also know, that only I can answer for myself. Yet, I am still interested in other opinions. On my M I have a 24mm, several 50’s, and the nokton 75/1.5. I am seriously considering to add the 90mm apo as well as a SL75 apo. A remark from @trickness about the Noctilux 75mm made me take a look into this lens. I never considered such lens before, but must admit the rendering is really nice, but so is its price. But instead of a m90 and the SL75, and with selling the nokton, the Noctilux comes within reach (with some additional cash ofcourse). But will a Noctilux be worth it? I know many here would like one, had one or still have one. If you had one, why did you sold it? If you want one, why don’t you go for it? thanks, Olaf

Friends - I have recently received a lens, which appears to have a small amount of fungus on the front element. I wanted to ask if there is any update on Leica servicing lenses which would have this problem, or third party service providers in London who can on the task and not damage the lens in the process? If it is a very small amount and doesn’t appear to impact optical performance, does the fungus issue matter? Would you recommend not using the lens on a camera to prevent the spread to other lenses or the viewfinder? Is there a way to prevent the growth of the fungus? Sorry, lots of questions, but would truly appreciate your guidance!

I haven't used my Noctilux in quite some time. I'm wondering if this is a normal issue wide open with point light sources or if there is something wrong with my lens. I've seen it from other light sources like neon signs wide open at night.

From our friends at Camera West, here's an interesting read and video about the f/1.0 Noctilux. The Leica 50mm f/1 Noctilux-M - Is this the Most Legendary Leica Lens? https://www.leicastoresf.com/blog/thumb-prints-signatures-the-leica-50mm-f1-noctilux-m?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=221236051&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_GOLt_QsXgfL8N3mp04orsT7qNArSqSwAPqhRk9-Qto7S7o9eS1T9ImIrWdFaCPeLfYp7T4c_ZhCWcuwv9fiDNvVvmAw&utm_content=221238214&utm_source=hs_email- 4 replies

I have noticed that my Noctilux has two different fonts on the lens. The front and the aperture ring has the same one as all the latest Leica lenses but the body has the previous typeface. The lens has a serial number that one would be normally associate it with a V3 but according to Leica the serial numbers on the wiki are not entirely accurate. This is what Leica can tell me about the lens. Through all my Leica years I haven't seen another lens like this so I am curious to know if anyone else has an Early V4 with the same layout.

Most of us seem to be photographers as well as collectors. Show me your favorite lenses, old and new alike. I like the Noctilux range for the extreme apertures, but I prefer the Summilux range for the best speed:size/weight ratio. Here’s a Summilux gathering of 21, 24, 28, 35, 50 and 75mm. All in black.

I had my heart set on getting a used Noctilux 50MM f/0.95, but I also found a used Noctilux 75MM f1.25. I wanted the 50 because I regret selling my Summilux ASPH 50MM - I really miss that dreamy/creamy look! The 50 Noctilux could be a suitable replacement, with an extra stop to boot! The "more usable" focal length is another plus. On the other hand, the 75 is appealing to me because it is a more modern lens with less CA/purple fringing, less vignetting, and a sharper look. I also don't have any 75MM yet. I shoot a lot of portraiture, but admittedly it's more environmental, so not totally sure if 75MM would be the right FL anyway. Still, I think I could make use of the 75. Any thoughts on which one would be "better," all things considered? Do I get both?! FYI - I am shooting on an M10 and also have a 50 APO and a 35 Lux FLE. Thanks all!

Just 20 worldwide. What a timeless beauty. Thoughts?

I heard a rumor in January that Leica was making a 35mm Noctilux lens. Was curious if anyone had heard anything more about this? Although I’m happy with my 35mm Summicron I think a Noctilux would be super cool to add to my bag. The size of it would be my only concern, as the bigger lenses aren’t appealing to me.

I am in a quandry, It's driving me nutz!!! I have decided to purchase a Noctilux 0.95 and I went down to the "local " Leica dealer to finalize my purchase. I expected that all Noctilux were Black, But I was WRONG!!! He showed ma a Silver Noctilux. That blew my mind! I had Expectations. but now I had to Decide ... Again.. And its not an easy decision. No Sir! My M240 is silver and my M6 is black, so is my M4-P . my Zeiss Ikon is Silver . A TIE!!! now I need your sage advice. What finish? The stealth black? Or the Glamourous Silver? What would you do ? And of course Why? P.S. The Sliver would match my hair colour.

I'm thinking of selling my summilux 50 and summilux 35 (both last ver) in order of getting a new 50 noctilux. What do you think? 1.i still need to add money 2.i will stay with one lens

I recently purchased an SL, and have the 90mm Summicron-SL as my only SL lens. I plan to buy the 50 Summicron-SL when it comes out, but who knows when that will be. So, I am on the fence between the 50mm Summilux-SL and the 0.95 Noctilux in the meantime. Does anyone have experience with both on the SL? and what opinions do you have to either? Looking at the specs, it appears that the Summilux weighs much more than the Noctilux does. On the other hand, the Summilux benefits from Leica's recent innovations. Difficult choice.
