I am thinking about getting a M9 with 50mm f/1.1 nokton. I am tired of dealing with crop factor dslrs at this focal length and instead of getting a full frame dslr, I am seriously considering an M9, since rangefinder photography is more interesting to me, especially because of the small form and high quality. However, I will raise some funds by selling my zuiko 14-35 and leica 25mm summilux for 4/3-system. I am sure Leica lenses outresolve the sensor in M9, however I have doubts about non-Leica lenses such as this nokton though. Considering that I will replace all my lenses in this focal length with a nokton, I would like to see a few comments about this lens when used on M9 and maybe some examples. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I have the lens and am waiting for the M9 to arrive,
About the lens in general, it is a sweet lens, which have worked very well both on my M6 and the M8.2 I would not be concerned with the lens one bit.

I don't have time to dig out the thread, but I saw some samples last night on dpreview.com in the Leica forum. They looked pretty good...

I like the Nokton for being so affordable but it certainly is a lens that just plain works. No "Leica glow", no "swirly bokeh", no character.

Nice stuff. I have one but can't seem to get that kind of pop! M9 + 50f1.1 is very sweet
