oliviersm Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted January 21, 2023 Hey Mads, yes I am although I've sent them monthly not weekly. Would you DM me your email address and I will check? Truth is, I've been having quite a bit of trouble with the site. Mix of mailchimp and squarespace. Some signups work others you have to sign up twice and I've not quite sussed out what the issue is.

oliviersm Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted February 10, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) It took a lot longer than expected. At one point I scrapped everything I filmed and had to say about this lens and start from scratch but it's finally done after a tad shy of 2 months. I'd love to hear from you and your thoughts on the lens, here or on the channel (helps out with the dreaded YT algorithm 😉) And a special thank you to the owners of the lens who shared their thoughts on the lens. 👍🙏 9 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted March 7, 2023 Share #11 Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) The 0.95 Noctilux came out in late (Nov./Dec.) 2009 so yes - it is getting long in the tooth. With the current version priced at $12,995 U.S. tokens, a new & improved Noctilux 0.95 would no doubt come with a thoroughly hateful price tag...

Truth be told, there are other lenses for a fraction of the price floating around. An update with simply better optics would be nice, but it would be pretty daarn awesome if Leica blew the roof off the "Noct" genre (for the lack of a better term) and came with a 0.8 lens. Don't even know if that's possible without having to buy gym membership to handhold something like that. With the TT artisan & Mitakon offerings at 0.95, it would be awesome for Leica to remind everyone why they are the king of the noct world. 10 hours ago, Herr Barnack said: The 0.95 Noctilux came out in late (Nov./Dec.) 2009 so yes - it is getting long in the tooth.

And if they did that what you suggest Herr Barnack or even my tongue in cheek suggestion above, I think you're bang on the money with your phrasing. That price tag would be hateful beyond belief. 😅 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same with f/1, later bought the 0.95 because the price was awesome but I sold that one as well. The Summilux 50 ASPH is THE alpha lens.

Noctilux are more difficult to bond with, and tougher to use as a standard 50 due to the size inconvenience IMO. What you say is generally true about the .95 (people buying then selling) but probably less about the F1. On my side, started with the Lux 50 but it was forced love that could not last (ie it has all of the perfect qualities and the right balance between size, rendering, speed, yet... did not like it that much) I replaced it with the .95 which is a kind of Lux 50 Asph on steroids. While amazing, the .95 is massive and comes with lots of CA. Sold it for a f1 which became my preferred lens. Reduced sharpness and tougher handling (long focus throw) compared to the .95, but smaller and with unique/different rendering (subjective). Nothing more challenging than finding the right 50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking the Pics taken with the Nocti in my Lightroom library I found this one from my daughter. Seems to be so long ago, she is already 16 now. Welcome, dear visitor!
