hexanon 50/1,2 and M8

[snoopss]

Hi

What about the hexanon 50/1,2 limited on the M8? I would like to know which quality for portraits at full aperture. And if you have to compare with the 50/1,4 asph and the noctilux?

Regards

Hi,

You can find some photos I took with the Hexanon 50/1.2 on the M8 HERE, I do not have a 50/1.4 ASPH or a Noctilux so I can't compare but by looking at photos on the net the Hexanon looks a lot sharper than the Noct.

Works great. Excellent lens.
As a matter of fact, I am selling or trading mine, depending on the deal. I will probably, soon, put it for sale right here in the classifieds.

I compared it to the Noctilux. The Noctilux is, to me, better. But many people say the hexanon is better (cleaner).

I've owned both, and prefer the Noctilux. But the Hex is great relative value, beautifully built, easier to focus, and a bit sharper. I simply prefer the way that the Noctilux paints, but I have the advantage of having bought mine before the prices went through the roof.

Here's a B&W of my father taken with the Hex...
