Leica Noctilux 35mm f1.2 ASPH is coming

[Freakscene]

As the kids say these days, 'yo wtfff' 😆

In response to this, the actual kids (my son is 12) would say “no cap, that price is dogwater”. As in “not a lie” (i.e. “it’s true”) and “that really is terribly expensive”.

Yo wtf is about 20 years ago kid talk.

Language is so remarkably plastic.

Sample images from some sources suggest swirly bokeh similar to the 50mm Nocti.

Yes, probably with some edgy ‘nervousness’ if there is a lot of contrast.

Hilariously overpriced as everything new Leica. It's really small for a 1.2, I'll give them that. No focus tab sucks.

Spending all that money just to have your midtones crushed.

Blurreh makes amateurs think they’re pros… that’s the market, in short.

I’m presently working my way through more than 400 rolls of infrared film, which in accordance with the infrared filters I use makes me work with an effective iso of 3 to 6. I’m always stuck at f1.2 to f2… but I’d rather use f5.6.

With regular film I’m always aroud f4-f8 and it’s always perfection

Definitely makes for easier compositions when you don't have to worry about layering, but it can yield an interesting impressionistic feel, long as it isn't overused in that regard.
