This setup is definitely heavier than the Noctilux but it's not horribly bad. In fact, it feels pretty good.

I thought I would try a classic on the M11 , cant wait to see what I get

Next up will be the legendary 105mm 2.5 AIS

I have one of those. Never even thought of using it on an M. I can hardly focus it wide open on a mirrorless camera, let alone an M. Plus, maybe it's me or my copy of that lens, but it's really soft wide open.

Good luck. Show us the results, please.

Yes, it's soft wide open and performs a lot better on film.

These are at f 1.2

These are at f2

Didn't Nikon make a smaller LTM mount version of this lens? I thought they did and I think optically it was quite similar.
