Ivar B Posted May 11, 2012 Share #1  Posted May 11, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) A major Norwegian dealer is offering a supposedly new version of the Noctilux 1.0/50, at about 2/3 the cost of the new Apo 2.0/50 ASPH:  Leica M Noctilux 50mm 1.0 - 31.799,- - Japan Photo Norge  Supposedly the importer has indicated a new version is on its way.  Anyone knows anything about this?

Peter H Posted May 11, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted May 11, 2012 Looks remarkably like the last f1 version to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 11, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted May 11, 2012 I had a feeling in my water that something in the Nocti line was coming up in the lift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoshawnuff Posted May 11, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted May 11, 2012 Unless you have previously purchased from this seller and know otherwise I would assume this is a website that isn't updated. There are a number of Leica authorized dealers in the US that supposedly have every lens in the Leica lineup at the old prices (at least according to the ability of adding lenses to your cart and entering credit card info--always later receiving a call saying the lens is not available but they can add your name to the wait list) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
