Noctilux 50mm f0.95 on Leica M246 and Silver Efex. I took the shot in the back of Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC., few days ago.  I tried to repeat the look and feel of an earlier version, with Summilux 75mm f1.4, here, but it seems that I was not careful enough.  Both lenses are a joy to use.

Although no noctilux owner (in better days i owned a 1.0 too) want to hear it, but i like the shot at 2.8 more than that at 0.95.
But both are beautiful portraits anyway…

The Vario Heliopan Filter vignettes severely at f1.0. It's a matter of taste.

I got the impression that EdwinWong wanted to show this. In my view this has a lot to do with the shortest distance of 1m. If that could be closer the bokeh of the Noctilux could come out better.

Thank you for your comment on the Heliopan.  I learnt from elsewhere that the variable Heliopan has a tendency to vignette more on the Noctilux with six stops in comparison to five, four, or three.  Please advise if you have a similar experience.  Thank you.

The alternative is to use a 62mm Heliopan Vario-ND and a 60 to 62 mm step-up ring if the vignetting is too intrusive.  It's worth remembering that the f/1.0 itself vignettes at f/1.0 without a filter attached (which some of us find attractive) so the Vario-ND is only adding to the 'natural' vignetting.

Quite a long while ago, I posted here that I really should stop following the thread - temptation was gathering force.  For a while I managed to go 'cold-turkey' but then relapsed.  Result?  I just took the plunge and pushed the button on an f1 v4 which hopefully will arrive early next week.  Being something of monochrome maniac, main use will be on my M10M (with Visoflex 020 if needed) but I will dabble with some rolls of b&w in my M7 (high time I used it again - eleven months of M10M ownership has left it on the shelf).  Colour-wise I'll probably use my A7III to take advantage of the EVF / focus peaking rather than my M240.  Wish me luck!

Actually, one of my main concerns was regarding weight and bulk and to test this I put my 21-35mm Vario-R + adaptor on M10M. Assembly weight is close to how it will be with the Noctilux.  Seems to be manageable, at least for my nowadays usual outing length of an hour or so.  (D-Lux 7 photo).

True, I can confirm that. Heavy vignetting cannot always be fixed by software (maybe I use the wrong software or due to lack of skills). Maybe I am the only one but I like hardware vignette in combination with a wide open lens.

I use exactly the 62mm Vario Heliopan Filter with a 60mm step up adapter. Both have a decent weight and adds additional 200 gram to the clunky (but excellent) Noctilux.

Keith you're in for a treat - I got a v3 in June and the combination with the M10M is a joy. I don't find it too heavy or unbalanced, though clearly it's not like having a Summicron or Elmar 50 on your M. The grip does help though. For occasional colour (and its palette I find exquisite) I put it on the SL and it's stellar on there too.  

Sadly mine has been with Malcolm Taylor for months now (just to have the focus ring smoothed a bit)  - if it hadn't been for the Covid restrictions I should have been beside myself with impatience!
