Advertisement Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Hi NB23, Take a look here Leica 75mm Noctilux to be realised in 2017.... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LocalHero1953 Posted April 7, 2017 Share #22 Posted April 7, 2017 With an EVF, no lens is difficult anymore. That's the theory behind EVF Don't say that, now everybody will want an EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffry Abt Posted April 7, 2017 Share #23 Posted April 7, 2017 ...not caring if it's made with dog and rat meat because it just tastes so good. Now, what Leica lens can be the equivalent of Dog and Rat meat in Chinese soup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted April 7, 2017 Share #24 Posted April 7, 2017 Now, what Leica lens can be the equivalent of Dog and Rat meat in Chinese soup? All! A sharp lens?: "Wow, Masterpiece!" A soft lens?: "Wow, Masterpiece!" A Lemon?: "Wow, masterpice! You need two, one for the special look, another for the standard look" A battered lens?: "Wow, masterpiece with fine patina!" A New lens: "Wow, masterpiece! I shall not use it and keep it as a collector." Each and every M lens is like a Dog and Rat Chinese soup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2017 Share #25 Posted April 7, 2017 You have your own way to show excitement about this expected product of 2017 Leica optical technology, which thanks to the M-constraints will hopefully not suffer from Otus-gigantism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted April 7, 2017 Share #26 Posted April 7, 2017 Noctiluxism is another desease among optical designers - though it is not yet fully establised whether the plague started in the optical or the marketing department. Better stay away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2017 Share #27 Posted April 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Never mind! My bet is, that it'll be a great one - 8 years of r&d progress after the 0.95 from a now well funded entreprise of tradition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted April 7, 2017 Share #28 Posted April 7, 2017 € 9000 (I presume) for a lens that seems to have again a shortest distance of 1m. Although this gives a smaller subject field than the Noctilux 50, it would still miss the charms of the historically smallest subject field of the Summilux 75. If this is a longer Noctilux 50/0.95 I think it will be nice on the SL, but ergonomically a bit too heavy on the M10 I'm afraid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted April 7, 2017 Share #29 Posted April 7, 2017 Why I have no plans of ever visiting China...You get similar s**t for food where you live only it gets rose tinted glasses treatment. On the subject of of Noctilux 75mm it better balance well on slim M10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jto555 Posted April 7, 2017 Share #30 Posted April 7, 2017 Could this lens be too wide for the M, and not allow rangefinder focusing? So it might be for the S? I hope not. Also, my guess is that the price would be north of €10k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kilmister Posted April 7, 2017 Share #31 Posted April 7, 2017 Wide, heavy as hell, limited DOF, very expensive ... just want I hate. I think it stands as much chance as a chocolate teapot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
almoore Posted April 8, 2017 Share #32 Posted April 8, 2017 Wide, heavy as hell, limited DOF, very expensive ... Welcome to the new Leica paradigm. If it exists, it'll be a huge success. No lens can be too bulky and blingy in the current climate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted April 8, 2017 Share #34 Posted April 8, 2017 Could this lens be too wide for the M, and not allow rangefinder focusing? [...] No problem, in theory at least. With 0.72x VF magnification it would be as easy (or difficult) to focus as a 135/4 lens at full aperture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 8, 2017 Share #37 Posted April 8, 2017 The next will be a 35mm Noctilux, at f/1.399 1.39/35mm Noctilux APO !On a serious note: the focal length of 35 is the sweet-spot, so a 2.0/35 APO and also a 35mm Noctilux would find a lot of customers.

otto.f Posted April 8, 2017 Share #38 Posted April 8, 2017 I think it stands as much chance as a chocolate teapot. well, when Leica makes chocolate teapots, they tend to be a great success, at least a great hype. See for instance the wide-angle summiluxes and the 50mm/0.95 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted April 8, 2017 Share #40 Posted April 8, 2017 I'm pretty sure the aberration APO corrects for is found in long focal lengths. Not previously regarded necessary even on 50mm lenses. Goes to show the power of marketing I suppose as I have seen this a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
