The review about the new Noctilux 1.2 50mm starts at 12.55min. The video especially outdoors in NYC from the SL2-S is really badly graded , way too contrasty 😞 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size alone put something on the table that the other versions do not. You may find it stupid again, but it does appeal to many, including me. I am really looking forward to seeing some examples taken with b&w film. It looks like a smart pricing and a very interesting release from Leica. So count me in the stupid crowd (unfortunately, not yet in the overprivileged but hey, working on it 😋) New Leica stuff is always on back order, and typically not available for months to anyone other than those more privileged folks who happen to be on this forum. (I am not naming any names.) It's part of the "exclusivity" game, and it has nothing to do with photography, only marketing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why this remake price (the black one) actually makes this lens attainable to ‘regular’ Leica shooters and not just collectors. If you're talking about the Noctilux f1, then yeah it's about half of the silver remake price but more expensive / same price as the black remake Noctilux f1.2. Different lens though..🙄 You are correct, and I was confused. I was talking about the Walter Mandler Noctilux, not that it matters. All of this latest Leica stuff is just fluff marketing, full of promises, signifying nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this specific post for people who enjoy / are happy about the new Noctilux, if you don't care that's fine, it's your opinion & I respect that, but why criticize? 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Len Posted February 4, 2021 Share #28 Posted February 4, 2021 On 1/29/2021 at 10:34 AM, shirubadanieru said: You have a lot of options it’s up to you to decide what works for you. Noctilux F1.2 (original) a collector’s item, very expensive, famous for being the first ASPH lens ever made in the 60s —> the one released is a remake of the original one, including lens design and optical performance. That means you can now enjoy a lens that used to be untouchable to most of us due to price and limited number produced F0.95 Noctilux & F1.4 Summilux ASPH - Both very modern lenses, if you care about sharpness and prefer more clinical and contrasty images you should use these F1 Noctilux & F1.4 Summilux pre-asph - Only available used, also great options, with their own unique renderings; a good alternative to the F1.2 for a cheaper price (for now as the F1 Noctilux is getting more expensive in the used market). They are old lens so you need to be careful when buying one to ensure it’s a clean copy. That’s it, you have a lot of options that’s the beauty of Leica, you can explore lens from 1930s all the way until now, and each person can use whatever they prefer. And now with the remakes of old lens such as this one, our choices increase a bit more too Thank you for taking the time and explaining the differences. With the current state of things I have had more time to become more involved with my photography and leica equipment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
