are the new 50 Noktons shipping yet?

I just placed an order for a chrome one and was just wondering if people had received their pre-orders yet.

I just placed an order for a chrome one and was just wondering if people had received their pre-orders yet.

My first shipment of the new Voigtlander Leica M mount 50/1.5's has sold out. I am shipping out the last of them today.

Next shipment July, for which I am accepting deposits or full payments - full payments get priority on the waiting list.

Best,
Stephen

Well, this is surprising. I just received a shipping notification. I must have grabbed one of the last ones.

What are the differences from the old ones? Been a while I have not followed rff.

It seems the new one focuses down to 0.7m which is very nice!

Great Review. If I still had an M Body, I'd be All Over It.

The chrome version looks great. Here's a shot of one on my black paint MP:

The Steve Huff review says that the chrome is a limited edition. Is this so?

The guys at Fujiya Camera did not say the chrome version was a limited edition. I think they would have said so if it was.

Jon, does the shade block the finder?

There's some blockage, but not too bad.
