Another M9 + Noct Image

This was taken at the Leica launch in Singapore with an M9 and a Noctilux f/1.1 wide open. Opened with C1 4.8.3, then exported to PS CS4 for a frame. I didn't notice that electric blue glow-keh on the top left at the time.

Do you mean Nokton f1.1 (or Noctilux 1.0, or Noctilux .95)? Only the Nokton is f1.1 wide-open. Thanks for clarification. Tom P.

No, I meant Noctilux. The f/1.1 was the second generation Noct made after the original f/1.2 and this sample was the 1st version at e58 with the detachable lens hood.

That's one pricey shot!

Is it cropped? There is no vignetting at all?

Care to post an image of the lens?

So it's after 1.2, and before the e58 1.0?

No such thing as f/1.1 Noctilux.

 

F/1.2 from 1966-75

F/1.0 from 1976-2007 (but there were three cosmetic versions - with separate shade, pin mount (E58), with separate shade, bayonet mount (E60) and with built-in shade (E60), all were f/1.0, though)

 

Confusion may come from how Leica marked the f/1.0 lenses - 1:1/50, just as an f/2 lens is marked 1:2/50. The "1:" is equal to "f/"

 

Nice glow-keh, whatever it was made with.

Never heard of a Noctilux 50/1.1 so far. Would you have a pic of it?

No, not cropped. There is vignetting, just not very obvious with this shot. A few others I took were more obvious but it's not convenient for me to post those as there are people in it that do not want them published. Sorry.

The lens belonged to another a gentleman who attended the event so no, I wouldn't be able to post a pic of the lens now. As Adan mentioned, it could have been marked 1:1 but very sure it was an e58 with a detachable hood. Sorry for the confusion.
