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!

50 f/1.0 Noctilux, not f/0.95 but the point remains the same. Pete.

The solution to your close up limitation is SL2 camera with adapter that has a little macro option.. this are images that where commotion this summer. They wanted the Noctilux look. cbbdcf

This lens is not "perfect" but suitable for delicate situations in film day,

like here  (not sharp but very pleasing pic, for me ) delicate hues not show in this digital reproduction of Kodachrome ( or from my lack of mastering digital tools )

Deservedly so, Rob!

Thank you, Gordon.  (Despite using my noctilux so infrequently, the images always have a captivating look).  Regards, Rob

Get yourself a Summilux 75 than your frame is filled (at the same distance) and you get Noctilux 1.0 magic. No kidding.

Besides from that…

Summilux 75mm focuses closer than any of 50mm Noctilux lenses, it can add a lot if subject isolation is the the desired effect.
