IkarusJohn Posted December 4, 2017 Share #181 Posted December 4, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) It’s from someone who works in the assembly of the lens. The same person who said the CL had the SL EVF? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Hi IkarusJohn, Take a look here Leica Noctilux-M f1.25 75 mm introduced. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Chaemono Posted December 4, 2017 Share #182 Posted December 4, 2017 Cheap shot. The person I talked to about the CL had a brief encounter with it. He wasn't even supposed to see it. Looked through the EVF, saw that it was fantastic, big and bright. Couldn't really tell the resolution. And he snapped a picture with the 18mm pancake and thought it was lightening fast. All good enough information for me at that time to have an idea what the CL was about. Better than reading about your FF wetdreams. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were discussing the EVF in the CL, you were adamant that your source was accurate and informed about the SL EVF - I'm not sure if you recall, but you asked the rhetorical question - were we suggesting he was lying? As for your repeat of the "wet dreams" comment, I'm not really sure what you mean by that. I have a TL2 - what "FF wet dreams"? An EVF based M camera? That has been an ongoing discussion of hope for years. Much as I would like it to be a possibility, it is unlikely to reach even rumour status. No one is suggesting that you're making your reports up, just questioning their reliability. The SL EVF report wasn't. For many, that wasn't a minor detail. After all the rumours, the CL isn't actually as featured as the TL2 (aside from the built in EVF with lower resolution than the 020 Visoflex used on the TL2 and M10). Each time Leica releases a new, high performance lens, these wondrous rumours circulate - Noctilux glass cooling for a year in a cave etc etc. There is no doubt that the failure rate on many of these lenses is high, even after they've been delivered, but I truly hope that Leica is not binning any lenses that fail production line quality checks. That would be truly alarming, not because of their high quality requirements, but pretty awful component sourcing and production quality. That may be a distinction which looks semantic, but it is important. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaemono Posted December 5, 2017 Share #186 Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) The comments are getting personal and off topic. @John - this professional reviewer thought the CL EVF was better than the Q's https://www.ingo-cordes.de/en/leica-en/leica-cl-test-report He didn't know the resolution at the time he wrote the report. But I'm sure you know this. You seem a bit frustrated with your TL2 now that the CL has been released and people are raving about it. I don't blame you. Some people seem nervous about the release of the 75 Noctilux. The reactions and the personal attacks remind me of the time when the 50 Summilux-SL was released. Funnily, it's the same people.

IkarusJohn Posted December 5, 2017 Share #187 Posted December 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) What? Nervous about my TL2? Whatever gave you that idea? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted December 5, 2017 Share #188 Posted December 5, 2017 It's a £10,000 lens, I wouldn't be surprised if some did not make the grade and were binned, recycled, at least in part. There were rumours about the same happening with the 50mm APO-Summicron too when it came out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
