The one and only day I tried the Noctilux on my CL. Worked OK as a portrait setup if you don't mind the very front heavy weight imbalance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about using the Noctilux on the CL, and the SL for that matter, is the EVF. On my SL in particular I can get about a 100% hit rate vs. my M10 with maybe a 75% hit rate if my eyes are having a good day. The weight of the SL + Noctilux, while much heavier than with the M10, is a little more balanced. All part of the fun of trying to master the equipment vs. the equipment running the show.

Danielnotnow Posted March 20, 2020 Share #675 Posted March 20, 2020 I am curious about something: when I shoot my Noctilux 0.95 wide open on the M10, LR reports it as F1.0. Am I missing something? Thanks, Daniel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? Thanks, Daniel. I think there is no exif point for 0.95. The closest is 1.0 And on an M digital the f stop is a guess by the camera as there is no data transmitted by the lens.

A Boring Image + Beautiful Bokeh = Boring Image . . . or . . . "You can't polish a turd" Hi I guess I can find myself going for the really nice shots... or I can find myself taking some really boring photos just to explore some lens characteristics. And I guess there are room for both kinds in here with the basis of what they are ment to represent or express (without extented need to express which...). Just a general comment from my side... 😉 Just enjoy our common fascination of the M and stay healthy through these times! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AD says the camera can't read the actual f stop but estimates the f based on the amount of light. I think mine varies because I have a circular polarizer attached. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
