mah Posted October 1, 2014 Share #42 Posted October 1, 2014 I owned Noctilux for years and my usage of it was about 15% amongst other leica lenses with different focal length, knowing more about its unique features and capabilities through my own experience, makes me now use it 40% and as my main 50mm lens. below some Noctilux shots over years on both M9 and M240, during day and night: M240: Welcome, dear visitor!

Herr Barnack Posted October 21, 2014 Share #46 Posted October 21, 2014 JMHO, but the Noctilux is a specialized tool, not an all around 50mm lens. I have a 50 Summilux (non-ASPH) and a f/1.0 Noctilux (last f/1.0 version). The Summilux 50 is my all around 50 while I use the Noctilux at f/1.0 to achieve the visual fingerprint that only that lens can create. The f/1.0 Noctilux is big, heavy and has a bit of a learning curve - but once you learn to use the lens the way it was intended to be used, it is magic. The 0.95 ASPH Noctilux is more capable of all around use, but it is even heavier than the f/1.0 version. The Noctiluxes are "project lenses" in my view. Pick out a specific type of subject matter and create a body of work using only the Noctilux wide open. This is where the Noctilux comes into its own. With the addition of a -3 EV and/or a -6 EV neutral density filter, you have the capability to use the Noctilux during daylight hours outdoors, even in direct sunlight.

I use my 0.95 Noct for every day use as, unlike the f/1.0 version, you can use this lens at other apertures without worrying about focus shift. It is big and heavy though - I quite like that.
