Joakim, that lens has a very special rendering. That is the Leica glow. I love it.

Screwing around with the 50 1.2 Nokton. I haven't shot with the MM in a while and it feels GREAT.

Lovely, Allen. What prompted you to get a Nokton 50/1.2?

Thanks. Just playing with this lens and I do like the rendering a lot.
The only 50 I had was a Jupiter 8 and I had an annual report I had to shoot a couple of weeks ago and I knew I would be working in a few tight spaces. I had read that the Nokton 1/2 focus down to just over 2 ft. It wasn't all that expensive compared to say a Noctilux. My dream 50 would have been the Leica 50 1.0 but 50 is not a F/L that I really see at (that is 35 on FF) so I can't justify 5K or so. From what I read that the Voigtlander 50 1.2 is amazing and I am finding that out.

The f/1 would be my choice from the three Noctilux-M 50s but it costs way more than I’m willing to pay. I scratched that itch with an M-Hexanon 50/1.2. My favourite 50 is the Summilux-M but I also have the Nokton 50/1.2 and think it’s easily the best value 50mm lens available for M-mount.

If a 50 were the lens I used all the time I would spend the $$$ and buy the 1.0 Noctiux. Has anybody here owned/own or shot with theLeica 50 1.2 AA Noctilux? They go for serious $$$ these days. I rarely see them discussed. I know that they are rare.

I also recently purchased the Voigt Nokton 50 f1.2 that I am using on a CL, where it is a 75mm equivalent. No doubt, it is an amazing lens without regard to price. I also own a silver Summilux-M 50 f1.4 ASPH (9+ condition) that I have put up for sale in the Buy & Sell section at a very reasonable price, if anyone is interested.

So how are you liking the Q2 so far?

I like it a lot. The only shortcoming for me is that I'm spoiled by the dynamic range and high ISO capabilities of my a7r iii. I am taking delivery of the a7r iv tomorrow and I keep thinking about just carrying the a7r iii with the 24mm f/1.4 G Master instead of the Q2, but wide open the Q2 just renders beautifully. Plus, it's an easy carry for everyday use. I can always just carry the Q2 during the day and the A7r iii or iv with the 24GM at night

Truly one of the greatest, as you say. The Americans changed both the way I approached photography and how I saw the world.

Insightful remarks by Sarah Greenough in the video. I’m fortunate to have the 374 page catalog for the exhibition, Looking In: Robert Frank’s The Americans. It’s one of my favourite photography books.
