Paul J Posted March 21, 2012 Share #21 Â Posted March 21, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) -The plus side is the Hyperprime absolutely feels like a quality piece of German engineering. Â It sure looks and sounds that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Hi Paul J, Take a look here Noctilux f/0.95 vs HyperPrime CINE 50mm T0.95. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ohnri Posted March 21, 2012 Share #22  Posted March 21, 2012 The thing that comes to mind is that a Lexus is a nice car - but a Lexus does not compare to an S class Mercedes. As always, you get what you pay for, one way or the other.  And as always, some of us do not have the resources to get the best lens or car that is available.  Such is life - so we do what we can.   Judging a lens from Vimeo is not widely thought to be the best way to evaluate it critically.  As more images become available it will be easier to form a valid opinion.  Having used the Hyperprime and the 0.95 Noct I believe the Hyperprime to be fully equal optically to the Noct. That is without any caveats regarding cost.  Of course, equal is not the same thing as identical.  -Bill  See my pro fight images taken with the M9 and Noct at Art Walk LA  Hatakeyama Gallery 905 S Hill St, Los Angeles April 12, 6:30 PM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoshawnuff Posted March 21, 2012 Share #23 Â Posted March 21, 2012 Ultimately most of us have little opportunity to try either of these lenses first hand. You have to look at what you see online (useless in many ways) and extrapolate from experience you have with lenses made by the same company (also limiting). With these two means of 'research' at my disposal I wouldn't think twice about ordering a Noctilux (if I had the money to do so), but it would be very difficult to pull the trigger on the SLR Magic...

Â Fair enough. Â Hopefully, more online material will be posted over the next few months. Â Â -Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
