Wonder how much that little gem will cost? Can't wait to see some samples even though I have no desire or use for one.

It'll probably pair well with the SL.

But it's in M mount?

cool, but there should be a smaller version of the sl with an m-mount so you don’t need adapters and can avoid the centered evf. HA! basically a full frame cl.

And here I thought my 80mm 2.0 Xenotar was expensive at $1750. Guess I'll have to comfort myself that it covers 6x6.

Definitely not debating that haha. I would agree with you whole heartedly.

The Xenotar is an inferior lens design so it should cost less.

Probably true. What does Schneider know about optics anyway?

I recall pretty well that many wanted a sort of "lense perspective" for the SL and different Noctilux lenses. There will be a market for this item.
For me it's great that Leica produces these high end lenses. Will trigger the competition and other companies will release similar lenses hopefully.
This Noctilux is like a piece of art for me - what a design and craftsmanship! But any Noctilux would only be interesting to me if I could get one used and for a decent price. Anyway, I am not so much into very sharp lenses. Love to buy very old and used lenses simply for using it on my old M3.

Let the dumping of the Summiluxes begin.

Excellent job security for those who can calibrate M bodies and lenses.
"After the first time sending my 75mm noctilux and M10 in for calibration it came back (3 months later) with some slight front focus (eyelashes sharp but not the pupil). After sending it back a second time everything is perfect! Totally worth the 6 months I didn't have the camera and lens..."

Hah! Good call.
40mm Voigt f/1.2 is calling...saves $12,000. 🙂

Users of the Summilux 75/1.4 already report online how difficult itis to focus this lens. Now, make the max aperture even larger, and have fun trying to challenge your eye sight!

But you'd have to stack two of them to approximate 75mm...
still a decent savings tho.
