Advertisement Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Hi R3D-D0T, Take a look here How is the Noctilux on the SL?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

digitalfx Posted December 29, 2016 Share #3  Posted December 29, 2016 Love this combo. Very easy and quick to focus, and it balances well on the SL. Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted December 29, 2016 Share #5  Posted December 29, 2016 Compared to using it on a M it's very very easy the magnifier makes it very simple to nail focus   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted December 29, 2016 Share #6  Posted December 29, 2016 I agree with Neil, I just got my adapter and put my Noctilux on it to do some testing when I came in and saw this thread. Here is one of my quick DUMB test shots of a rare frog on our back deck!!!!!! It is easy to focus on the SL and well balanced. Welcome, dear visitor!

pkwok Posted December 30, 2016 Share #7 Â Posted December 30, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Agree, easy to focus. Great bokeh. Weight is heavy, but this depends on your preference, some likes heavy lens on SL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieri Posted December 30, 2016 Share #10  Posted December 30, 2016 I am using the Noctilux f/1 (E60) on the SL and I love it. Great IQ, and extremely easy to focus and compose thanks to the focus magnification feature of the SL. I'd say much easier to focus it precisely than on any M (excluding live view on the M 240). You can see a gallery all shot with it wide open at f/1 here:  https://vieribottazzini.com/2016/11/buranoscapes-burano.html  Hope this helps, best  Vieri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonetics Posted December 30, 2016 Share #12 Â Posted December 30, 2016 Best combination, I would say. If u love Bokeh, it is a must set up. Â See attached photo(U can click the image to see how precise the focus can be). Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenw0lf Posted December 31, 2016 Share #13  Posted December 31, 2016 It's working great on the SL. So I use it again in bad light, but its usefulness is limited. And I think that for portrait a 90mm or longer lens is much more desirable. While for landscape a Summicron 50 is much more reasonable.  The bokeh is ok, at a very high price. But many 90mm, 135mm and 180mm have actually an even nicer bokeh. I also find the proportions of the faces often better with more distance. And the intensive play with out of focus highlights is often just shifting attention away from the main thing - the portrait. That is also the problem with the Summilux-SL 50. It is close to perfection - probably the best 50mm for the SL - but it is only one more 50mm. (Have already 2 R and 3 M and many here have probably even more 50mm lenses   ). I think the next lenses (75mm and 90mm) will be much more interesting. And also the 16-35.   Just trying to see things in a "sober" way, right before silvester.
