gtownby Posted December 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I must admit that since acquiring it several years ago, I do not much go to my Noctilux 50mm f/.95. My biggest disappointment is that while I really want to use it for portraiture, the minimum focusing distance is so far that I am unable to fill the screen with my subject. Instead, I must back away significantly and then crop. So, before I consider selling the beast, I thought that maybe forum members could post their favorite .95 images to persuade me otherwise. I'll start with a photo from the .95 that I am happy with. Happy New Year! Image: Copyright 2020 Gordon Ownby Welcome, dear visitor!

Gobert Posted December 30, 2020 Share #17 Posted December 30, 2020 The last one is the perfect example of what Noctilux is capable at. On the one hand you can count the hairs of his beart and on the other hand you see this beautiful Bokeh. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted December 30, 2020 Share #20 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Mandler Magic sort of ... wide open close-up using 75mm even (for me) harder to use than Noctilux 50mm so I use them mostly close down a couple of apertures.
