Advertisement Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Hi wattsy, Take a look here Any enthusiasm for the upcoming 1.25/75mm Noctilux?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

SilentShutter Posted November 29, 2017 Share #105 Â Posted November 29, 2017 Seriously this will be a amazing but hard to handle lens - really would love to have one but this price.........? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecar Posted November 29, 2017 Share #107 Â Posted November 29, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Much more exciting than the Thambar if you ask me, but I'll make do with my 75/1.4. No plans to sell a kidney (yet). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted November 29, 2017 Share #109  Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) I thought I remembered your saying so.  I don't miss the lens though, do you? No. I only miss the £3000 or so extra that I could have sold it for if I'd hung on to it.  Could have been worse - I could have used 10,000 bitcoins to buy a couple of pizzas. :-)  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited November 29, 2017 by wattsy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted November 29, 2017 Share #110 Â Posted November 29, 2017 Maybe a 90 Summilux-M on the way? Â http://www.nokishita-camera.com/2017/11/summilux-m-11590-asph.html?m=1 Â Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted November 29, 2017 Share #111  Posted November 29, 2017 One kilo brick? Just to get shallow DOF and brag about it on Leica forums? Nope for me. I have some other lenses for it Nor, I'm the portraitist. I just live by most successful portrait photographers examples for it. Jane Bown with 85/2 as the portrait lens. And my daughter (also paid photographer) taking portraits by 24-105 f4 AF lens with image stabilizer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 29, 2017 Share #112  Posted November 29, 2017 I would certainly buy a 75mm Summilux NOW if you want one. This new £10K Noctilux will no doubt make pricing soar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted November 29, 2017 Share #114 Â Posted November 29, 2017 - 75/1.25 (11676): 91 x 74mm, 1055g, 11900 EUR - 75/1.4 (11814): 80 x 63mm, 490g, 3000 EUR I would have preferred a 75/1.4 asph the same size as the non asph personally. Sticking with the latter then. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted November 29, 2017 Share #116 Â Posted November 29, 2017 Price aside, this is not for me - one of the primary reasons I keep a 75mm around is the extra-tight framing at 0.7/0.75 meters. 0.85m won't cut it. Â Although it is understandable - when you focus close, you move all that glass farther out from the image plane/camera, and the lens barrel has to carry all that "cantilevered" weight hanging off the lens mount without torquing or binding the focusing (or floating element) helices/threads. Which means even more weight (thicker metal tubes). Â And more viewfinder intrusion as well. Â However, it seems to be an amazing technical exercise - mtf and almost zero distortion. Walter Mandler considered his 75 f/1.4 his greatest achievement, and I suspect Peter Karbe feels the same way (and should) about his 75 f/1.25. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted November 29, 2017 Share #117  Posted November 29, 2017 Peter Karbe feels the same way (and should) about his 75 f/1.25. Yeah? Should he? A 1055grams lens on an M? Where the 75lux was already considered as the heaviest reasonable lens for the M? Oh my poor M10 mount, I’ll protect you against such a monstrosity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted November 29, 2017 Share #119 Â Posted November 29, 2017 I'm sure it will set new standards in this focal length. However I was never comfortable with 75mm focal length. To those who do take the plunge, good luck and enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillbeers15 Posted November 30, 2017 Share #120 Â Posted November 30, 2017 I was fortunate to have used the pre-production M75Noc 2 months ago on my SL on a portraiture shoot. The M75Noc is a fabulous lens with a identical character to the M50lux. I had the chance to take the same subject and location with the SL50LUX. The results were different in effect. The SL50LUX had very clinically good control to produce a realistic yet pleasing picture while the M75Noc produced a dramatic effect and the purple fringing effect identical to my M50LUX 0.95 due to very shallow DOF. However I find it difficult to differentiate it from the M50Noc on pic effect. Shooting of the M50Noc, just tells me to get closer to subject as compared to the M75Noc. I do not get the passion to sell off my 0.95 and get in line to wait for the arrival of the 1.25. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
