Thanks for posting them. I have been following the comparison images posted at the Fred Miranda forum. This Nokton f/1.0 certainly has its strengths, but then, so does the Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, which is the lens I first acquired, to start using the Leica M system. The Nokton would have to compete with my Summilux, so, the Nokton would probably be a niche lens, mostly used for night shooting, in which case it would have to compete with the wider-angle lenses I would normally use at night. Then, just this month, I added a pre-owned APO Summicron-M 75mm ASPH, which consumed the funding that I could have used to buy the Nokton. A couple of these f/1.0 Noktons have been bid, on the evil bay, to end at $1824 and $1849 US, with is little more than the recommended $1799, so, perhaps the speculators will cease buying these with the specific intention of re-selling. RexGigo, I agree that Leica M lenses have moderate re-selling value. I have used both Leica lens and Voigtlander lens for many years, the performance of certain VM lens is beyond praise. I also own a Nokton 75mm f1.5 lens which would have to compete with APO Summicron M 75mm f/2. Thanks for your reply 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but today one does not buy one f-stop more for available light. Trust your sensor! The f/1.0 is taken for its DOF.😜 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The f/1.0 is taken for its DOF.😜 During the summer time, here in Texas, we often shoot at night. Climate change is real; within my living memory. A whole stop of light can make a significant difference, especially with a 50mm lens. 🙂 Shallower DOF is a bonus. Of course, wider-angle lenses are generally more practicable to hand-hold, for longer exposures, so, I am also considering wider-aperture wide-angle lenses. I enjoy using my Zeiss C Biogon 4,5/21mm ZM lens, when there is ample light, so the two discontinued 21mm Elmarits, the Zeiss 21mm ZM, and the Leica Summilux-M 21mm ASPH, are all candidates for eventual purchase. Edited to add: I have 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss lenses. I have not yet researched the Voigtlander 35mm f/1/2 lens. Edited March 14, 2022 by RexGig0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted March 15, 2022 Share #127 Posted March 15, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love shallow depth of field with people and their activities. So I bought the 1.0 to specifically use for that type of look. I also wanted a lens to use for dim rooms where I’d rather shoot wide open at iso 1600 than 3200, so for me, the extra stop of iso with sl2 was beneficial. I will likely shoot these types of assignments on my sl2-s but I will always welcome lower iso or higher shutter speed in these situations… that’s why I also have a Zeiss 35 1.4 ZM. I’ll use it indoors likely more than my SL 35 summicron for the same reason. Robb 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted March 17, 2022 Share #131 Posted March 17, 2022 I have taken hundreds of photos with the CV 50mm 1 on my M10. It is a wonderful lens overall. It is very sharp and it renders beautiful OOF. What an awesome lens it is. I have a thread about it at RFF. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted March 17, 2022 Share #135 Posted March 17, 2022 When CV comes out with the CV 50/1 after having produced a 50/1.1 and also a 50/1.2, the new lens better be special somehow. I own a CV 50/1.1 but not the 50/1.2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted March 17, 2022 Share #138 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) While this lens is meant to be used wide open, it is also an excellent general purpose lens at smaller apertures. The pelican images were mostly taken at F 8. Edited March 17, 2022 by Raid Amin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted March 18, 2022 Share #140 Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) The lens itself is heavy but I find it to be manageable on the M10. It is big but not too big. This may be the best lens that CV has ever created. Edited March 18, 2022 by Raid Amin 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
