I wouldn't go that far. I agree it looked good and Fiennes and Mulligan were both excellent (the latter a little young for the real Mrs Pretty) but the contrived drama (the Spitfire scene, the love affair ) was dismal. 

Yes . . . but Netflix subscription is cheap 😆

If anyone wants a Silver one, no problem here

I hate this can happen! 

Could take the man's steer and try 5x retail price as an offer.

I will keep my Noctilux 50mm f/0.95. However, I shoot it on my SL2 with the L to M adapter. So much easier to nail focus than on my M10, even with the VisoFlex.

Sad thing is, he is not jesting!

I doubt he seriously expects to get €888k for it but Schouten knows what he is up to and is happy to play the long game (price things at the top end and wait for a buyer of means who simply has to have the coveted item). In this case, by putting a ridiculous asking price on the lens, he gets quite a bit of free publicity (to which we are all contributing to) and word quickly gets around that he has a silver Noctilux available. I wouldn't be surprised if someone pays €50k.

Well, I think it might be laughed or sneered at anyway, but isn't it all about the look and feel with a lens like this? I like it! These are both shot at f1.2

I would like to note how great a capture this is.  Forgetting about the technical aspects: the apparently hyperactive child with polished nails jumping on the, I assume mother, who is cradling what looks like a glass of wine in her hands.  I think this could be the image that depicts the pandemic for centuries!

And he just tore the outer box to pieces! 😱

I always keep them and treat them very carefully.

That box abuse and knife thing was brutal to watch. I'm still puzzled as to why they cant send me my pre ordered copy.

Agree - although Mr. Karbe is on record saying it dosn't float his boat. 

Hope the rumoured 35mm is still in the plans.

I think the 35 APO Summicron is ahead of the 35 Noctilux, in that the 35 APO already is present in FW updates with a 6 bit code. I would guess by the tiny size, from sneak photos of the 35 APO (e39 filter thread), that it is a Karbe lens. It makes the Voigtlander 35/2 APO-Lanthar look humongous, bigger than the already large Zeiss 35/1.4 ZM Distagon. However, I would guess that small size does not equate with small price, maybe £7000. Will I be a customer for this lens?  Probably only if I sell my ASPH Summicron and chrome ASPH Summilux. I will hang on to my near mint 35/2.8 Summaron, as that is LTM and is the lens of choice for my IIIg, with a SBLOO finder.
