wlaidlaw Posted July 26, 2021 Share #321 Posted July 26, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) You often see this price for Schouten Select items. I think it is to invite negotiations but also to prevent "buy it now" Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is to invite negotiations but also to prevent "buy it now" Yes, this is an advanced tactic in collectibles: set a hilariously high Buy it Now price with offers accepted, even if only to track the market on offers.

And my photoshop skills are good enough to make it usable again. i didn’t end up getting the lens from Schouten, but someone else. It should arrive to its new home before noon tomorrow if the ups truck is on time. Pictures please, Steven. 🙂 Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted July 26, 2021 Share #326 Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Alex at RangefinderHK has it for only 700,000HKD (€76k / $90k)... https://www.rangefinder.com.hk/store/leica-noctilux-m-50mm-f1-2-asph-silver/ I’d get it myself but need to service the Gulfstream G650...🙄 Edited July 26, 2021 by NigelG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go into “developer tools” and edit the content. You can do anything, edit text, add or delete text and photos, change the layout, etc. If it seems too daunting just let me know what the price you want and I’ll send you a new screenshot in the morning...

farnz Posted July 27, 2021 Share #332 Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) That's superb, Steven, the chrome 50/1.2 Noctilux asph on an MP3. What dreams are made of. All you need to do now is to pair the Noctilux with an original (1950's) MP in black. They would be (even more) made for each other owing to the MP's frame counter collar and its genuine vintage style and lustre. 🙂 Pete.

Gobert Posted September 25, 2021 Share #339 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I am considering selling my 50 lux, latest version, and buying the Noct 1.2/50 as workhorse. I am wondering how owners of the noct 1.2/50 think -from an experience point of view- about this consideration.

I am wondering how owners of the noct 1.2/50 think -from an experience point of view- about this consideration. I purchased the 50 1.2 re-issue copy from MDG1371 plus another copy, and exactly like Marke experienced I was very disappointed with performance of this new lens as wide open it did not render with nearly the magic of my Dads original 1968 f1.2 copy, yet it did posses much more contrast and sharpness from f2 onwards, but same for me that for the price it was quite disappointing and the irony is this particular copy is now with its 5th owner (who has a reputation of buying and selling just for a profit). Even though the original owner did not like the lens, nor did I, but a quick total of four disappointed owners on what has been quite a highly anticipated lens? It is a shame as it is very very nicely made and the size is almost perfect but I'd take a black chrome 50 1.4 summilux over it every time let alone my E58 f1 Noctilux which I found to be much more magical wide open.
