Stuart Richardson Posted January 4, 2021 Share #5 Â Posted January 4, 2021 My 75mm Summilux is made in Germany, so I am guessing they will not have to... Would be interesting if they could reproduce the 50mm 1.0 or 1.2 Noctilux at a more reasonable entry price, as I would imagine that there would be a lot of interest, all the more so from people interested in using it in film/video work. Much easier to buy or even remount a 3000 dollar lens than a 6000-11,000 dollar lens. But I guess that even if they did rerelease it, it would be more expensive. I am also not sure if the same glass types they used are still in keeping with EU regulations, as that was a problem for a number of classic lenses (SWC etc).

a.noctilux Posted January 4, 2021 Share #9  Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Why not ? 😊 list of them here in Wiki I didn't know that I was Walter Mandler's fan before learning it in Internet lately. Anyway, I think that I have ( used many for some decades by now ) those that I need ( less Noctilux f/1.2 which was not Mandler's creation ) , but to quote Wiki ( Noctilux 1.2/50 ) : Designers - Helmut Marx and Paul Sindel 25 Apr 1964  taken from Cavina site, link... here Welcome, dear visitor!

For collectors reasonable prices, I assume. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
