Sell Noctilux to finance a Lux 24?

I wouldn't ever sell my Noctilux F/1, its such a magical lens. I also never quite understood the need for a wide angle summilux. I suppose I always think of the wide angle lens as a landscape lens, mostly. When would you ever need 1.4 on a landscape lens. Just my thoughts. Spend $1000-1500 and get the 24/2.8, fantatic lens and fast enough and keep the F1.

But then again, wth is a landscape lens? Each and every time I shoot a landscape I reach for a 50 or longer focal length.

Landscape with a 24? Always came out ugly.

A 24mm or wider is a landscape lens in my OPINION. It doesn't mean you can only take landscape nor does it mean you can't use a longer lens as I often do too. I don't think most are taking a portrait or people shot with a 24mm. Not that you can't. No rules as far as I'm concerned, whatever suits the situation. I, me, in my opinion, never saw a use for a 24mm or wider 1.4

I'm sure some have used it to great effect, it just seems like a tool I, me, in my opinion, wouldn't use much.

 

When I did the Canadian Rockies, the 24mm/2.8 was on my camera the whole trip. I took zero shots with my 90mm

Never ever sell a great copy of any 35mm, 50mm or 90mm. Unless you already have two great copies of those focal lengths.

 

These are focal lengths you will always go back to after playing with ultrawides, or macro, or 75 Luxs.
