You don't buy a Noctilux to compare it with charts of high res lenses. Stopped down it's a monster - I own it and the 75mm Summliux and would say it is not far off. It leaves nothing to be desired. On the contrary it gives much more.

Excuse me for pointing out reality.

 

Yes, the .95 is the greatest 50mm lens ever made in every situation. Weighs nothing, also :)

I have to say, Neil, reviewing your images again, you make as good a case for the all round use of this lens as I've ever seen :)

 

With the SL you don't have to fiddle for a ND filter, either. And it's true, your stopped down shots look great.

 

SL + Nocti is a fantastic combo well beyond the blur :)

I changed my M240 for the SL and the M-50lux for the Noctilux 0,95 a year ago and love that combo a great deal. Fast focusing no problem anymore.

I really love the colours that Noctilux produces! And of course it makes a great excuse to go bokeh hunting at night. I’m glad you found a way to bring it back into your life Neil.

 

I tend not to like B&W Noctilux shots as much because I prefer sharper images there I think. So I wouldn’t recommend Noctilux for a Monochrom personally, but each to their own!

I’ve come to the same conclusion - my 50 Summilux-M lives on my Monochrom.

 

The M primes that work well on the SL are the larger ones - 21 Summilux, Noctilux & 75 Summilux. I have been using the TL2 and 35 Summilux-TL, but I will revert to the SL/Noct combination - they just work so well together.

I sold my SL and the Noctilux is now on the TL2.............very easy to nail focus with the EVF
