→ Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH review at Photozone:
“The Noctilux no doubt is an impressive lens, not just because of its size and weight. Center resolution is very good to excellent throughout the tested aperture range. In contrast, though, the image borders and corners are very soft at large apertures, but improve considerably by stopping down.
In terms of build quality, the lens certainly meets even the highest expectations.But, is all that worth the enormous price? Well, it depends. First of all, the Noctilux ASPH certainly is one of those lenses one needs to learn to master. In addition, the differences in rendering compared to other fast, but far more affordable lenses are often subtle, but of course these lenses do not offer the speed, that “magic” aperture number below 1.”
→ An interesting interview with Andreas Kaufmann (Google translation):
“In May 2012, Leica presented Show Chart the digital “M Monochrome”. Since then, amateur photographers and professionals tear to the model that brings forth a fascinating range of gray tones and shades. Kaufmann had hoped to 3500 units per year to sell, in fact there are about three times as many.”
