Only you can answer that question.

 

What is your fear? Why are you concerned about regret? What is the reason for the sale/purchase?

reason is. really want M8.2 etc..

although have no Budget available for something that is such a luxury, so was thinking hhmm i could sell this..etc..

 

but just cant decide. so thought is would put it out there and ask others opinions.

 

cause i love the piece of glass as well. but one lens sold could give me more..

 

if ya know what i mean..

 

but would i regret selling such a nice lens... hmmm

If it's the 50/1.1 then I would keep it. You have the option of using it on an M film or digital with an adapter and this lens is only appreciating in price (as I feel sure you're aware).

 

Opinions on the 50/1.1 Nokton are divided so you would be wise to try one yourself somehow before sacrificing your Zunow for it. Once it's gone it's gone.

as a note.

Yes 50 1.1

i use it on my M film.

and its the one with M mount, not screw.

 

yeah. this is why its a thought i had to myself tonight, as a way into digital M.

 

but. .. well its a really good lens....

 

so maybe just wait and save the old fashioned way..

Egads! If you have a Zunow in M-mount it must be uber-rare. They're occasionally available in L-mount (L39 screw) but this is the first time I've heard of one in M-mount (unless I've misunderstood). Frankly I'm surprised since Leica guarded the M-mount patent for so long.

For the record, I wasn't in any way suggesting you're daft - I'm basically gobsmacked.

There's a Zunow 50mm 1.1 in LTM on Ebay right now listed for $8,899 as a buy it now price. Digital cameras don't appreciate while this rare lens probably will. I think you answered your own question. Keeping it while saving for a digital M would be the wise decision.

yes . thanks all. will go stare at the M8/M9 thread now. chanting, work harder boy ))

[Studio58]

I would keep it. Bodies come & go... lenses remain.

Are you using film M(s) now? Are you doing any digital? If answers are yes/no, respectively, then you might try some scanning in the meantime and get into the digital workflow. A good printer set-up will be as important as the camera. (And if the answer to the first question is no, then you should rent a digital M first to be sure it suits you.)
