OMG - Noctilux 0.95 just arrived!

[drewflorida]

Like a kid at Christmas right now! I have never, ever, ever even touched a piece of glass that feels this good......Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, Canon, doesn't matter.

Been intrigued by it, read everything I could about it, poured over every review I could find and a handful of sample shots and fell in love. I just had to figure out a way to get one. So, I sold a couple other lenses that I wasn't using to justify the purchase and all I can say is WOW! What a piece of glass!

I know there were a lot of folks asking for raw M9 images when the new M9 arrived a few months ago that I put up for everyone to download, will try to do the same with a couple sample shots with this once I've had a chance to get out of the office and take a few. At 6 feet and f/0.95 I took a quick snapshot of one of my office staff, focused on the tip of the nose just testing....the tip of the nose was in perfect focus while the eyes were very very soft focus......talk about shallow! This is gonna be fun!

THANK YOU TO KURLAND PHOTO IN NYC !

Congratulations! I looked at one at a trade show a while ago. It's a hefty piece of glass with an even heftier price tag! Enjoy!

good shots with your dream camera & lens combo.

would be interesting to do little pixel peeping raw file from this camera.

Nice small stealthy camera.

 

[robklurfield]

I have pockets neither deep enough to pay for that setup nor wide enough to carry it. Enjoy yours and post pix from that big hunk of glass.

 

[Damaso]

Can't wait to see some pix...

 

[peter_n]

Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing some shots from it!! I have the f1 and I'm trying to use it more, this lens is definitely different from what I've seen.

Not envious...if and when I'd have the cash, I'd do the same in a second! But I don't and so I bought the Voigtlander 1.1 a few months ago. Curious to see some more comparison shots, if and when these exist... Cheers, P

 

[Renzsu]

wowwww.. lucky you! what an amazing combination this must be!
looking forward to your test shots 🙂

 

[Rotad]

Wow, I would feel really paranoid leaving the house with 20k+ slung across my shoulder. Now you have to shoot the mandatory flower, leave/tree brach at f/.95 shot : ) Please post some photos so those less fortunate can live through your pixels vicariously. Enjoy the setup.

Have fun with that Big Bertha you got yourself! 😉

is that a m8.2 grip or a m9 grip?

is that a m8.2 grip or a m9 grip?

so i bought a grip from my dealer for the m9 to match black paint and brass acordingly.

i was sent a m8.2 grip, so it's brassy as f*** now the m9 has barely brassed at all, aside from where i bump it into my other bodies when working.

needless to say im pissed.

so is this a m9 grip or m8.2?

either way this thread needs some m9+.95 pix.

Please post some photos so those less fortunate can live through your pixels vicariously.

Haha, that is exactly right.

Drewflorida, I can't begin to imagine how much fun you'll have with that set up. Enjoy!

 

[barefoot]

That sure is a nice picture. Of a camera & and lens. Which we've already seen.

:yawn

😀 Dude, that's a digital camera - take it to your back yard, fire off a few dozen test shots and post them here in 10 minutes - that's what we want to see!

Congrat's, Best of luck, Enjoy.

The rest of us are "green" with envy, but since we like B&W so much, you cant tell.
smile...and yes- post.

If I dropped $10000.00 on a lens (in my dreams) I imagine it would feel pretty good ... not to mention the digi it's attached to! 😛

"Let them eat cake!"

Is there software on this forum that filters out the 'bottom feeders' from threads like this ... it would save a lot of angst?

😀

 

[pachuco]

Wow! That is fantastic! Have fun!

 

[Rayt]

Please post some pictures taken with the lens. I can only dream about it!

 

[gavinlg]

Wowee, that looks amazing. Keen to see some real life/in use pictures from it. You have one of the coolest lenses ever made for anything.

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Congratulations. Very nice setup, the best.

I am guessing it ran a lot more than my $200 Canon 50/0.95 RF lens...
