let guess the price of 42.5mm nocticorn and who want to get it?

[ageha]

Well, it seems you're the one misunderstanding. Nobody is contesting if it's better. What I'm putting out there is if the 1k+ difference in price is justified by difference in output. Also, bigger aperture doesn't necessarily make for better lenses.

Won't matter for the people who will buy it.

Have to depend on the existing setup. If you are already invested in m43 it may make more sense to stay within m43 and uses it as the base. Funny to keep changing system, although there are people who uses 2 systems for different purposes.

35mm is not a popular focu length. Should look at 50/85/90/100/135 for reference

Hi Wonglp. I think that's the Voigtlander 42.5 0.95 price, not the Panny f1.2. News puts the panny at 1500 usd :/

No worries hehe. Tbh I like the Voight lander rendering better than the panny. The pop is there, not to mention cheaper too. No AF for sure, But I like to take my time for portraits anyway

Comparison with oly 45 f1.8
Edge sharpness is impressive. But again for the price....hmm.

Shawn,
I can feel and hear the rattling in the lens when it is not powered. I can understand it is due to the IS but it's rather obvious even when I'm only moving it in and out of my dry cabinet. Do you have this problem?

 

[benz61]

Anyone know where I can buy this lens now in Hong Kong ?
