This was an excellent video! It's been a while since I've seen something this good. It reminded me of some of the stuff you did for Digitalrev. I, in fact, went back to the "Sh*t fanboys says" series you did---particularly the bonus footage on Leica. It was so good!

I used to own a Voigtländer 50mm f1.1 - it was beautiful on my M8, but for some reason I never got the same quality photos with my full frame M9. I now have a 50mm Voitländer f1.5 that hits the spot on my M9. Thanks for the great video!

@Rodericken Год назад

I wonder how it performs in a video setting ! Love the video Kai, thnx !

@-grey Год назад

I was obsessed back in the day with ultra fast apertures. I got the 1.1 and the old FD 1.2L and the 1.0 Voightlander too. Now I can't look at the character of those lenses without feeling a little nostalgic, but also assigning my own amateurishness to it. So I've kind of ruined everything faster than f1.4 for myself.

@kentmemories Год назад

kai is excellent both reviewing & story telling.

@janglausercomposer Год назад

Speaking of Bokeh, I'd love to hear your take on the vintage Summitar f/2! Absolutely love it's soft rendering and swirly bokeh wide open. And for Leica glass, it's very affordable.

@richardsimms251 Год назад

Very, very interesting. I have one of these Leica f 1 lenses and need to use it more often.

@wisruteb Год назад

Definitely a legendary lens. I had the Version 4 for a number of years and really enjoyed shooting at f2 to enjoy its watercolor-like bokeh. Unfortunately over time it didn’t pair well with my M Monochrom and had focus shift problems.

@redrosemassacre1 Год назад

Thank god! Someone who gets it! Vignetting and all those things that can be measured by MTF charts shouldn't be measured by said charts. They should be measured by the look they produce.

@stuntmonkey00 Год назад

The noctilus is like a supermodel: it does one thing very well. It's terrible at the everyday things. If you aren't specifically shooting a portrait and obliterating the background, you just end up wishing you had a Summilix instead.

@Mike_M_Smith Год назад

Kai still shoots with a typ240. I'm keeping my 246

@BrianMcKee Год назад

For some bokeh with super character you should try the auto-takumar 35mm f2.3 with a small extension tube. Lens is absolutely wild and a ton of fun to use. Not too expensive either despite being only in production for 2 years.

@danallen46 Год назад

A great video would be to compare this Noctilux 50mm f/1.0 with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.0L.

@snapsnap1 Год назад

This is not an insult. When I was younger and just started out in photography and dreamed of owning a leica I was reminded by a mentor there's a difference between a camera man and a photographer. I m still dreaming but I m a photographer.

@wilfredshum3703 Год назад

I own the 0.95 and also the Voigtlander Heliar Classic 50 mm f/1.5 primarily for the bokeh. I think the Voigtlander has good value and worth giving it a try.

@ronitsingh85 Год назад

This vid is like dai-ja-vu , very similar to the one done on digital rev on the noctilux when it came out, one of my fav!

@TaijanH Год назад

This Video is so good, reminding me of the old day when you shoot with Alamby and Luk in Hong Kong. The video then is informative yet entertaining. It was not just a review. Shame you don’t have the budget to do that anymore, and Hong Kong was not the same place.

@steveottavaino3804 Год назад

Absolutely some of your best work, superlative photos. Reminds me of my Nikon 58 1.4G, a lens most love to hate, but a tool capable of immense satisfaction and incredible results if utilized correctly. Thanks for sharing!! Cheers.

@stefan_becker Год назад

The Nikon 58mm 1.4G has incredible bokeh, but an awful focus shift making it difficult to get in focus images. Nowadays I'd recommend the Sony 50mm 1.2 GM. Crazy good bokeh, extremely fast af and incredible sharpness.

@matthewneleigh567 Год назад

I love a perfectly imperfect lens... though I doubt I'll be able to afford that particular one anytime soon!

@Goughie Год назад

I like how the subtitles change "Noctilux" to "not deluxe" it is very much deluxe...

@uthmanaffan1022 Год назад

I own V1 and V3 both giving a different character. V1 E58 give you glow images especially on skin and more dreamy. V3 give me less glow and sharper than E58. And for V3 I used to 2 model Leitz and Leica both also give different character.

@Floyd_F Год назад

Hey Kai! love your vids but gotta ask, what were you vlogging with at the start of the video? that IBIS wobble was nauseating. XD

@DrSeloom 4 месяца назад

Hi Kai, does it matter that this lens is not 6-bit coded? I mean apart from manually adding it to say M11 camera? Your video made me consider purchasing this glass & brass beauty.

@ziginox Год назад

12:10 You make a discrete Letterkenney reference, and that's what I appreciates about you.

@stefan_becker Год назад

Nice video! But all the Noctilux versions are imho not a good investment. I used to have one of these in analog days and only got lots of soft images out of it because I could not focus precisely enough with the range finder. Also the bokeh isn't that great imho - swirly. Nowadays a far more reasonable option is imho the Sony 50mm 1.2 GM. Its autofocus is fast and extremely precise. Add a Sony Alpha 1 and you get a combo that is imho far far superior for the price of one Noctilux. And if you like the nostalgic vintage look and amazing bokeh, get a Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.2.

@BF4pawntard Год назад

Sod the camera where did you get that awesome shirt.

@Veptis Год назад

why not get the Leitz Cine Version which explode the price even more. Maybe a Noctilux vs Noct vs Super Nokton will show that Nikon is winning by a lot in objective measurements

@gigamoment Год назад

I think there's a limit where the bokeh starts looking ugly. This lens surpass the that limit for sure. I recently realized that even a 35mm F2.8 lens produces bokeh that is pleasing enough to my eyes, and maybe to the most eyes, really beautiful bokeh if you just stare at it for a bit. Why do we need more?

@tycusd1389 Год назад

Can someone recommend me a fast 50 or 35 mm lense for a Nikon Z50?

@rmp5s Год назад

Idea: Get one if the new DJI gimbals, one of their radar sensors and one of their focus pullers and set it up on this lens...I bet this thing would make some CRAZY looking video but keeping everything in focus would be a nightmare. Not anymore. 😎

@nldyer Год назад

Great!

@michaelcampbell4503 Год назад

Humorous review, as always. Its a many coin bokeh vending machine!. My f1.0 is epic and a b***** to focus, but when you nail it as wide open as you dare the images are incomparable.

@martysender5539 Год назад

Not goofy...fascinating, and Kai, one of the best produced videos you've ever accomplished IMO. and the Canuck duo? LOL. I'll have my bokeh balls with cabbage. Marty Sender You Tube.

@503unavailable Год назад

As someone who bought the 50mm 0.95 TTartisan more then a year ago and has since then rarely used any other lense, this video is uniquely interesting to me. I can see how much better the „real deal“ is, but do i really feel like spending that much money??

@TheIppoippo Год назад

Christ almighty!!! Thanks for giving me major GAS! I have a GFX100S, with GF110, GF50 and a Nikon F mount Zeiss 85mm. The 50mm is rarely used, just like I use the 85mm Zeiss as a “character” lens. Watching this, my emotions are going “sell the gf50, Zeiss 85”, buy a Leica noctilux 50 f1

@MrSimonj1970 Год назад

Helmut Marx lol! Classic Kai, just needs the DRev theme tune.

@b0ddo Год назад

I think that, as engineers design lenses, their main focus at the time was to create the best optical system possible; just like Nikon has the best 0.95 lens today (most correct optically). I truly believe that all the dreamy imperfections were not necesseraly intended, but welcome adverse effects.
