Is this lens comparable to Noctilux in terms of subject isolation, and rendering character?

 

I'll let you make up your own mind...

 

Nocti owners will say the f1 is vastly different to the f0.95, let alone how they compare to the 75 Lux.

 

I believe, however, the 75 Lux when wide open delivers that special something you get with a Noctilux. It renders skin so softly, yet it remains amazingly sharp, and has dreamy bokeh.

 

It is cheaper, too.

 

I'd cry if anything ever happened to mine. I use it more than any other lens I have.

The DOF is more shallow than the Noctilux. Rendering is your call.

Textures are sublime with this lens, for me more organic and interesting than any other lens I have. I must pop mine on and go out as rubicon light is where it shines too:cool:

This lens was really high on my list when I was jumping into the rangefinder world. It really has something special.

As I already own 75mm Cron I just don't see a way I'd explain it to my wife that I'll have two lenses with the same focal lenght. ;) Of course, if I could get it, I'd keep the Cron too, as it also has something special, just in another way.

 

Anyhow, I envy you, lucky owners.

I'll digress a bit, but I always wondered why there was no lens specific subforum in the photo section. 75mm lux would shine there.

Worry not. Your lens is perfect.

Does she have to know ... ?

 

As the saying goes, "I hope she never sells my gear for the price I told her I paid for it"

A while back here in this forum, somebody had a nice saying:

 

"Wifes and Leica receipts, may they never meet."

Sensible woman, more Leica you buy less money left for other vices.

 

 

Her vice is handbags, the purchases of which I fully support.

My wife loves me very much.

:):):)

 

 

I think it's ludicrous that a leather sack with a bit of metal furniture can sell for the same price as my Leica lenses.

She thinks it's ludicrous that a lump of metal and glass can sell for the same price as a her handbags.

 

Anyhow, on counting her handbags and my lenses I have some catching up to do.

Hmmm

I caved in and created a group on Facebook awhile ago - LEICA Lust.

 

If you want to post images of your lenses and cameras, you have a dedicated group for it now.

Thanks for the offer TGP :).

 

I love the form factor of my cameras and lenses but am not into displaying Leica porn.

The handbags are to be worn but the cameras are to be used.
