ELAN Posted July 5, 2019 Share #181 Posted July 5, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) 13 hours ago, evikne said: ISO 50 wouldn't be enough alone to shoot at f/1.0 in daylight, but in combination with a faster shutter it could be possible. 1/8000th sec. should be sufficient. ISO 50 and 1/8000 shutter would get us to ~f/1.4 on a bright sunny day. Great for Summilux but still a little short for a Nocti wide open. I too dislike NDs - I've tried most brands and they all vignette and distort colors to some degree. I also find it cumbersome to put them on and take off as I move from outdoors to indoors (when traveling), especially having to first unscrew the hoods of the 28 lux or 35 lux. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for Summilux but still a little short for a Nocti wide open. I know it's one stop above the sunny 16 rule, but it would correspond to a 3 stop ND filter, and that's sufficient for me in the strongest sunlight at f/1.0, 1/4000th sec. and ISO 200. Maybe the sun is a little weaker here in my country. In addition it's possible to recover 1–2 EV from the highlights in post from an M10 at ISO 200. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddon_jt Posted July 5, 2019 Share #183 Posted July 5, 2019 having an electronic shutter for speeds faster than 1/4000 would help with that issue as well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is tack sharp too, but in my humble opinion the Noctilux is made to be shot wide open. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my Noctilux. I completely agree with the part about shooting the Noctilux wide open. I was told by a very knowledgeable source that when Walter Mandler designed his version, he wanted to eliminate the aperture ring and just have the lens at a constant f/1.0. He was overruled. My copy does not have a focus shift problem. I recently had my friend Don Goldberg (DAG Repair) fine tune it and he did an amazing job. It's now sharp across the whole focus range.

Other f/stops wiped out with ease and taping the aperture ring is the way to go. This is to match the other 1.0 at left 😉 Welcome, dear visitor!

Back in my Canon days I had their 50mmf/1.2. Beautiful lens. I've never held one of their f1.0 lenses. It's a monster compared to the Leica.
