jrp Posted November 7, 2015 Share #1  Posted November 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) My Noctilux does not click at 0.95; the first click is half a stop down.  It's annoying, because the aperture ring often slips.  Do others' Noctiluxes  have the same feature?

farnz Posted November 7, 2015 Share #2 Â Posted November 7, 2015 I didn't notice this with mine although I'm not able to check now because I kept my f/1 and returned the f/0.95 to the wild. Â Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted November 8, 2015 Share #3 Â Posted November 8, 2015 Mine has a positive click stop at f/0.95Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share #4  Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks. I'll take it back to be fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarav Posted November 9, 2015 Share #5 Â Posted November 9, 2015 It clicks at f/0.95. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted November 10, 2015 Share #6 Â Posted November 10, 2015 My Noctilux will rotate slightly past the 0.95 click. When I first got it I wondered what was going on. Are you sure you're not seeing the same behaviour? There should only be a single 1/2 stop between 0.95 and 1.4. Â Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 10, 2015 Share #7 Â Posted November 10, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine clicks and stops dead and doesn't go past 0.95. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornnb Posted November 10, 2015 Share #8 Â Posted November 10, 2015 Can anyone's go past and beyond 0.95? I want that version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted November 10, 2015 Share #9 Â Posted November 10, 2015 Unfortunately the aperture doesn't open any wider. It's just the aperture ring doesn't stop dead on at 0.95. It was like that when I bought it (new). I suppose I could send it in but then I wouldn't see it for months and it's not affecting the performance or usability of the lens in any way.

jrp Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share #10  Posted November 10, 2015 In my case, it click stops at 1/2 a stop below the 0.95 and can be opened further (the diaphragm disappears if you look inside the lens).  However, there is not a clock at that further opening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have your lens looked at.  Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surge Posted March 26, 2017 Share #15 Â Posted March 26, 2017 My Noctilux will rotate slightly past the 0.95 click. When I first got it I wondered what was going on. Are you sure you're not seeing the same behaviour? There should only be a single 1/2 stop between 0.95 and 1.4. Â Gordon Mine does this too. Very slightly. I guess it's not a big deal, but I would have thought it wouldn't, at this price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarosuav Posted March 26, 2017 Share #16 Â Posted March 26, 2017 So does mine. So did two copies of 35mm FLE Lux I had. It's quite typical for Leica lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
