Bought these two lenses over a short period in time. A scratched up Canon 50 f1.4 and recently a Canon 50 f1.2. Love these two lenses!!!

 

Here's a pic of the twins.

 

 

Here's some crazy bokeh for the 50 f1.2. It's kinda soft wide open but i like it

 

Here's the bokeh on the 50 f1.4 wide open

 

Sorry, these are really just test shots. Haven't got the chance to really take good pics.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I am just wondering how the Canon lens fit on the Leicas. Did you need to purchase an adaptor?

I'm sure Zoomp already has an LTM to M adapter for 50mm lenses. He'd need it for the 50/1.5 Nokton also shown in the pictures.

 

Zoomp, welcome to the SFTMF--the Society of Too Many Fifties. Those old lenses are fun to experiment with. The Canon 50/1.4 is known as a good lens. It will compliment your Nokton when you want a more classic look. The 50/1.2 sometimes wows you and sometimes disappoints, its character is quirky. As you've seen, the bokeh wide open can be wild. Enjoy.

Haha.. Thanks bro. Yeah, using the Voigtlander LTM-M adaptor on both Canon and the Voigtlander. I've always love 50mm framelines. Also using a Summilux 50 -R on my R4s.

 

Think your description of the lenses are spot-on!
