HU: Limited Edition M-Hexanon 50mm f1.2

[Hacker]

2001 sets ever made and this is without the body, just the lens. I have never seen such a high serial number. No connection to the seller, but I can recommend (as well as others) his reliability:

I notice the seller uses the same white gloves I use when taking photographs and fondling my M3.

Black paint? 🙄

did Konica make a dedicated lens hood for this optic?
if not, what would you use?

Yes it did. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160200144806

It is $200 cheaper without the hood. This lens does not flare, so I think if may not be necessary. Also, Heavystar has one 62mm if needed.

Am I to believe this lens is basically a Noctilux?

If you are referring to the old Noctilux which is f1.2, then yes. Otherwise, the Noctilux is f1.
