Well, I will buy both the 21mm and 24mm summilux and tell my girlfriend it is the newest fashion in Paris: wear earrings that look like lenses.
Insane pricing ...

 

[ali_baba]

wow.
so 21 and 24mm f1.4's?

 

[maddoc]

Looks nice ! ... and quite high price tag

Interested to see how the ASPH will compare to the f/1.0 ..

 

[horosu]

Would like to see how the new Nocti compares to the Summi ASPH at 1.4...

 

[Tuolumne]

Price of Noctilux ~~ Price of my House

Price of Noctilux ~~ Price of my House

I think I'm glad I didn't sell my Noctilux for $6K. if this keeps up, it will soon be worth more than my house.

Wow nice. Now I'm just waiting for the Nikon RF.

 

[Roberto]

Can someone post the picture here too?
I haven't access to the other site..
Thanks,
Rob.

 

[tomasis]

Is only me who see that new Nocti looks smaller than older?

Anyone can post M8 with older nocti for comparison.

If new nocti is somewhat less at size, it'd be great to have instead of Lux ASPH But damn 8000 euros yikes.

21 24 Luxes?? Unbelievable.. Why no 28 Lux? 5000 euros. I guess it is for 21 24mm freak guys.

24mm Elmar looks intriguing.

 

[Roberto]

Sure thing:

Thanks!

Stupid question.. what's the Leica M8.2?

updated M8

 

[J J Kapsberger]

Do we presume these lenses and the M8.2 are for real, or is this just speculation with a bit of Photoshop thrown in?

 

[Ronald_H]

Good grief, the prices!!!

Well, I still do have two healthy kidneys...

Chasseurs d'images is the one of the top two photography magazines in France. I doubt they would publish unvalidated information.

 

[Sam N]

Wow... over $12,000 for a slide projector?

Whoa. The lens is .95? So much for a focusing plane And $16,000 US?

 

[Nh3]

Unfortunately Leica hasn't been able to substantially upgrade their M8 camera or release a new DRF, a full-frame one. Instead they release these collector items... It almost feels like that Nikon might just deliver a coup de grace to Leica if they release a DRF with a price tag close to M8.2.

But we shall see.

you had better hope that you're a mutant, I think you would have to sell at least three kidneys at these prices
