Hmm - sort of a replacement for 75 'lux....?

...at least on an M8? (assuming C/V can port this glass into a rangefinder mount) - it would likely even be a good match for the M8s 50mm frame lines at infinity.

Focusing wide open would be a challenge on an M8 with the adapter. No rangefinder coupling.

Hi Andy,

 

The current Nokton 50/1.5 (LTM) is an excellent lens that actually compares very well with the 50 Lux. And thanks for the link. This is a smart move by CV. In fact, it will be impressive if the new (SLR) 58/1.4 can match the 50 Nokton's performance. So, really, the RF lenses are setting the pace for the new SLR lenses, rather than vice-versa.

 

Cheers,

 

Sean

Charles: I was going on the assumption that Cosina would produced a dedicated RF version WITH rangefinder coupling...just a couple of extra bits of metal in place of the auto-aperture mechanism.

 

Just as Leica makes both RF and SLR versions of its 90 APO.

 

Sean: Yes, I well know the 50 Nokton - but 14% extra reach and an extra 0.1 to the f/stop never hurt...
