Noctilux 1.0 and M9

[awilder]

The dark corners (falloff) on the 50/1 at f/1 is actually intentional in it's design to reduce other more objectional aberrations. If the lens focuses correctly at f/1 on the M9, that's more important. Digital M bodies are much more finicky on exact focus issues, so if your's is correct, count your blessings and enjoy the lens.

I love the dark corners! Haha.

It's not that bad. I shoot f/1 with M9 all the time and like the vignetting.

This is what you get with 3 stop ND filter on top of UV filter (I'm too lazy to remove uv before attaching nd).

This is only with uv filter.
