Nokton f1.2 first photos... that thing is amazing!!

[gian]

Bought a Nokton f1.2 a couple weeks ago and had the chance to shoot some frames last week...

that piece is truly amazing... sharp, beautiful bokeh and very well made!! of course it's quite big and heavy... but hey, a Noctilux is the "same" size and costs 5times more... :bang:

please let me know if my feeling is right, that this lens is quite contrasty compared to a pre asph. summilux...

here some samples... Leica MP, Nokton f1.2, Kodak Tri-x 1600...
more will follow (they need to dry)

Great shots. What developer are you using to push TriX. Love the look you're getting.

I love mine, it's on my M8 when I'm not pocketing the camera. Otherwise I take the CV 35mm f/2.5. I love it on my R4M too...

nice photos on your blog Andreas!

I actually know your Blog, are all of those images scanned wet prints?

 

[gian]

Martin

Yes, It takes me not much more time to do wet prints than to scan negatives properly... and the results are completely different...

nice blog, I just visited it!

 

[Benjamin Marks]

Yeah. I love that lens. My favorite lenses tend to be those that do stuff others can't. I don't care about wieght. I don't care about VF blockage. This lens is just such a performer.

Great shots. I too like your style. The 35/1.2 is always on my list of lenses to get. Maybe one day...

It helps that you are a good photographer.
Is it hard to focus with? I'm guessin yes.
I'm used to F/2.0 using a 0.58 viewfinder it might be tough... too tough you think?

 

[nome_alice]

i love my 35/1.2 to bits aswell

 

[totifoto]

[newfinder]

nice, we never regret the 35f1.2

 

[elshaneo]

Great images examples from that particular lens. I can understand why we rarely see this lens on the Classifieds...
