Wiggi Posted August 17, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted August 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone have the M9 and the new Noctilux 50/0.95? Â How does it work at f/0.95 and e.g. at f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8? Â What happens, if the electronic correction is shut off (vignetting / pink corners)? Â At the Leica Day last year in Wetzlar I could make some pictures with the M9 + Noctilux. But the electronic correction was not shut off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Wiggi, Take a look here M9 + Noctilux 1:0.95 / 50 mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jev Posted August 18, 2010 Share #2  Posted August 18, 2010 it's great very sharp I prefer to shoot wide open, but at f4 bokeh is also amazing  Reflections on life - a set on Flickr  You can find many more if you search my photostream No pink corners. Some vignetting which I personally like, nothing that could not be dealt with in lightroom.  In short if you can, get it  regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuckley Posted August 18, 2010 Share #3  Posted August 18, 2010 I have recently gotten my hands on the new Noctilux. I am in love with it. This picture probably sums up my feelings toward it.

johnbuckley Posted August 18, 2010 Share #4  Posted August 18, 2010 On a more serious note, I have found very little vignetting. Yes, a fair amount of chromatic aberration if shooting wide open in bright light. But it is sharp -- much sharper than the f/1 Nocti I once had -- and the focusing seems dead on. Although it is heavy, and because of its size makes the M9 less conspicuous, but you plausibly could use it as your everyday 50mm. I had to pick my son up at his summer camp last week and brought only the M9 and Nocti, and found I did not miss having another lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

ldhrads Posted August 19, 2010 Share #5  Posted August 19, 2010 I bought the Noctilux before the M9, had it on the M8.2 for a few months and although I like it, I didn't love it... Picked up a M9 in July and it is a revelation with the Noctilux. Outdoors in bright light I"ve used it with an ND filter. It really stays on my camera now 90% of the time. I like to shoot it wide open, but with the ND in bright light I get some vignetting. No fringing. Stopped down it's amazingly sharp. Certainly this combination is without peer. Here's an example or 3  Welcome, dear visitor!

Overgaard Posted August 23, 2010 Share #15  Posted August 23, 2010 Great pictures, thank you. And there are no problems when you shut off the electrono correction? Can someone post a picture taken with M9 + Noctilux 0.95/50 without electronic correction?  The ones on my site are without any electronic correction as the camera didn't know it was a 50/0.95. I asked Leica about the fringing (visible at f/0.95), and was told that "the fringing only appears in over-exposed areas (such as highlights shooting against the light), and there is no treatment on fringing in the lens type selection."  I might be wrong, but I understand all I have heard so far (which might not be everything) so that the lens coding on the Noctilux 0.95 doesn't do any corrections, only inform the EXIF file which lens was used.

doug_m Posted August 23, 2010 Share #16 Â Posted August 23, 2010 Question: any instances where I'd miss the 50 Lux ASPH if I traded it in for a Nocti? Â Yes. If you want to go light and small the 50 lux ASPH is better. Also, the 50 lux ASPH focuses down to 0.7m and this can be a big deal in certain situations. Â The Nocti 0.95 is fantastic- and its a dream lens. However, I would strongly advise against getting rid of the 50 lux ASPH. In other words, try to afford both if you really crave the Nocti 0.95. If after having them both you find you don't use the 50 lux ASPH then sell the lux. But if you trade in the lux there is a high probability you will regret it.

01af Posted August 23, 2010 Share #17  Posted August 23, 2010 I might be wrong, but I understand [...] that the lens coding on the Noctilux-M 50 mm 1:0.95 Asph doesn't do any corrections, only informs the EXIF file which lens was used. I might be wrong, too—but as far as I can see, the camera does not perform any corrections on fringing or distortions but does correct the vignetting (to a degree) when lens recognition is on (be it manually or automatically).

01af Posted August 23, 2010 Share #18 Â Posted August 23, 2010 Any instances where I'd miss the Summilux-M 50 mm Asph if I traded it in for a Nocti?Yes. If you want to go light and small the Summilux-M 50 mm Asph is better. ... and the Summarit-M 50 mm 1:2.5 is better still. Â The Noctilux-M 50 mm 1:1 was not able to fully replace a 50 mm Summilux or Summicron, but the new Noctilux-M 50 mm 1:0.95 Asph is. Unless bulk and weight is an issue for you. If you want a light and small 50 mm lens to complement the Noctilux-M (either variant) then I seriously recommend the Summarit-M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
