the Fujilux 0.95

I'm a rangefinder enthusiast, but no interest in fast lenses any more. The fastest I've ever owned was the Nokton 1.1, even when I could accurately focus it (which was rare), I just ended up with the usual paper thickness of focus and everything else a blur. I know that's the point of such lenses, but I don't really see what I'd do with it, as in, what practical application is there for such a small DOF?

And of course the Nokton 1.1 is massive, probably over twice the size of a Nokton 1.4, for less than a stop more of light.

So, no, not for me...

Ultra fast, lightweight chunk of glass with autofocus....yea that would be a horrible idea what was I thinking.

I dunno, I think it would be "practical" for shooting fashion under natural light. Say...In a nice mossy forest or even dim freeway underpass. I could isolate details and create a nice dreamy, pretty image. I would even use it shooting street in BW. While lenses like this may not be the most super useful, everyday utility glass...they can be pretty fun once in a while.

Oh and I'll even drop the price down to $1499 for this niche "non-full-frame lens".
 
Yea that's what everyone at Solms said about the Summilux.
And then someone went Bokeh crazy! ahaha.

^Oh.. looks like my SUPER EBC layer slipped a little bit, but you get the picture.

Use larger format cameras then. Practical both for the DoF and print quality.
