Advertisement Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Hi a.noctilux, Take a look here Rumoured Noctilux Family. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pgk Posted November 9, 2017 Share #82 Â Posted November 9, 2017 What do other than "1" numbers mean (1.4Â 2Â 2.8 4Â 5.6 8 etc.), have never used those settings . Â Obvious - they are a measure of how much too bright it is to use your Noctilux. Fitting an aperture diaphragm to lenses had become a habit by the time the Noctilux was made, so one was fitted.

evikne Posted November 9, 2017 Share #83 Â Posted November 9, 2017 I hate sunlight, because it makes my largest apertures useless, unless I put on an ND filter, which I don't like to use. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted November 22, 2017 Share #85  Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Where have all the rumors gone about the "new Noctilux family" ?  Already CLosed?  Leica manage to take time testing before release New Noctilux TL lenses.  The most difficult decision is to put or not on the lenses the infamous aperture ring.

rsolomon Posted November 26, 2017 Share #87 Â Posted November 26, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not excited..... I feel very comfortable with the summicron family. Weight, size, quality all winners for me. Sure there is the rare occasion of not being able to get a swallow enough dof, but for me .... I just turn the page, roll forward, and keep shooting. Maybe I'm missing something in the discussion but I never carry more than 2 lens at a time, so I NEVER have every option available in EVERY situation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anickpick Posted November 28, 2017 Share #88  Posted November 28, 2017 (edited)  An 0.95/35mm Noctilux would not cause much worries for the rangefinder - as long as it is properly adjusted.  So if Leica really offered the much rumored "Noctilux" for 75mm - they would make a statement: forget the rangefinder and use EVF. A 75mm Noctilux (at f 1.25 or something) would be a statement by Leica: we are only interested in our customers spending huge sums of money. We are not interested in the usabilty of our lenses.  While a 0.95/35mm Noctilux would indeed not cause much worries for the rangefinder - what about the viewfinder? To me, extreme viewfinder blockage is even more critical than rangefinder accuracy.  For both rumored Noctilux lenses, the SL will be a much better choice than an M camera.

Dario Antonaci Posted November 29, 2017 Share #90  Posted November 29, 2017 75/1.25 was posted by Leica on Facebook. Can‘t wait for the „too big & too heavy“ guys. Looks like a perfect lens if you need a fast 75, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M10Alpine Posted November 30, 2017 Share #94 Â Posted November 30, 2017 How likely is a 35mm Nocti and what do you think of it in terms of size if it would come? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwj Posted November 30, 2017 Share #95 Â Posted November 30, 2017 How likely is a 35mm Nocti and what do you think of it in terms of size if it would come? It depends on the design goals, but I'd say it would be similar to the 35 Summilux but a bit fatter, say E55 instead of E46 filters. Â The opening only needs to be ~37mm for a 0.95/35mm, the size it becomes above that is down to how technically perfect you want it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted November 30, 2017 Share #96 Â Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) An F1 or F0.95 35mm is very unlikely IMO. More likely F1.2 and E49 (if that works). A more pertinent question IMO is why a 35mm Noctilux at all? Edited November 30, 2017 by wattsy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more pertinent question IMO is why a 35mm Noctilux at all? Â Why not? Â Well a 35mm 1.2 Noctilux would have little appeal to those already owning a Summilux. But to someone new to Leica or someone who wants something faster than their summicron or a new 35, then they may be more interested. Â Personally I don't think an 0.95 or f1 35mm Noctilux is very unlikely and I would have an interest in that.

A more pertinent question IMO is why a 35mm Noctilux at all? The same reason why they now make a 1.25/75mm; it's hard to charge $10,000 for a summilux! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that seem your lens is broken just send it to me if you want to get rid of it for free........  In mean time... Found another Noctilux 1 without those numbers, and one "L Ultrasonic" without any exotic numbers, at left much bigger/heavier AF for same optical specifications:  Welcome, dear visitor!
