Leica Noctilux f1:1 - seeing the night
I got my hands on one of these wonderful lenses - finally. That this lens is quite controversially discussed was not known to me, as I did not spend any time, thinking about it prior of getting a chance, to pick one up.
I am still in a huuge back log with editing, processing and printing hundreds of shots, I took back in Europe, so I will make this one short:
There will be coming galleries and photographs to share made with this lens.
I will work on an article about this particular lens here on the site - don’t press me for a date, it is finished, when it’s finished. I have expressed already to some, that i have a rather open minded view on the lens technically and regarding it’s usage by many users, who share their work and were the lens fits into my camera bag actually (people, who know me, will look forward, to me using it for mainly for its actual designed purpose - night shots).
I have it just for more than 48h now and had actually no time, to go out and shoot. As the day/night job has priorities even a new Noctilux doesn’t bring out of order, I have just uploaded a quick gallery with photographs, I took with the lens mainly during the longer taxi rides, I do in Shanghai, while on my ways.
Surely expect, more to come, as I just begin, to find out about the probably most versatile single lens, I ever used…
