Just wondering why Cosina removed the Nokton 50mm F1.5 a few weeks ago. I have a hunch that something will happen. Here comes the new baby..
Here is the link,http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/v-lens/v-l-m/50-1.1/

Wow.. this lens by itself can be a reason for me to come back to RF... 125,000 yen (~$1250) is not bad considering the prices of other super fast 50mm lenses...

Sucks that they discontinued the Nokton 1.5. Best deal on a 50mm lens ever.
Maybe it will reappear as an M mount.

And there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth...
Do you even get a Summarit 50mm for that amount of money from the boys from Solms?
But of course it will have quality issues, 'weird, harsh bokeh' and focus shift.... If only it had a Leica name on it, all those 'bad' attributes suddenly would become 'character traits'.
Me like. Me wanna!

oh wow! just when i thought my lens line-up was complete
i noticed a few weeks ago the nokton 50/1.5 was on the discontinued list, but just thought it was an error.
but surely there's still room in their line up for the 50/1.5 to live on!? (glad i have one )

Which M-mount body will be the best partner for it?
R3A/M? ZI? Leica M~?

Go to our Flickr site, click on the Nokton 50mm f1.1 set and set it as a "slide show" (bigger images). There are 19 shots there - some wide open, some stopped down. I used the lens for a couple of days in Japan at the end of March.

GAS never ends, does it.
Okay, I die broke. And they can bury me with all my photo gear.
Lottery up here is $49 million on Wednesday. I have my one ticket.

According to S. Gandy in another thread, only the silver 50/1.5 is discontinued. The black one will remain in production.

Watch that step!
Now hopefully Canon f0.95 prices will stabilize, (go under $1,000) so I can buy one and convert it to M , for what it`s really worth!

PS: I`m sticking with the FAST Canon`s, they have a more nostalgic and "artistic" signatures,
(just what I need in my work ~ not across the frame sharpness!)
I`m not "won over" by the photos I`ve seen so far made by this lens, the signature seriously looks just like a Summilux f1.4 50 Asph to me.......sorry!

Tom A. thanks for the samples, looks really nice!
Leica M5... no contest!
Leica M3, 0.92x finder...Way faster Focussing with that big EFB. Nikon finders have 1.0x, but the Patch on the M3 is better defined.
AND since the close-focus of the new lens is 1m, the M3 stays with it through the whole range. You do not lose anything as you do with lenses going to 0.7m.

This young 'un right here is about to break his piggy bank really soon.
LeicaTom mentioned it looks like a Asph Lux, and that's not too bad for me i guess! Considering it's probably around the same price (or cheaper? not familiar) i would like the extra 3/4 stop!
