Noctilux 0.95/50 ASPH

[nsng]

Got this from the Leica User Forum. Here is the 0.95 Noctilux ASPH. Price 8000 Euro!

Other rumours include 21 and 24 Summilux. I was expecting Summicrons for these two prime lenses, but f1.4!:bigeyes:

Is it me or does that M8 look really weird. The Leica logo in black and the less than flattering body panel that looks like it came from a holga. What gives?:think:

Maybe M8.2?:dunno:

possible. after all the special discounts on the m8 in the last few months, this could be the improved version. But so ugly.:bigeyes:

Hmmm I wonder if it'll be a 'more forgiving' Noctilux. Haha.

Not likely. However Leica claim it has better performance throughout the aperture range. ALways wanted one of these and the new one makes it very tempting . If I was rinning for Lehman Brothers I would have ordered one - if you're going to go bankrupt for billions of dollars anyway, a few thousand dollars to go out in style won't even be noticed.
