Leica Showcase Voigtlander 50mm f/1.1 Nokton

[Brian]

It's a great lens, and one of the most under-rated lenses of all time.

Get them while the prices are good!

I listened to your advice, Brian.

I got this lens a week ago from someone online, and I placed on order online for an IR cut filter for it, but I still have not received it. I was warned by Brian that even with the M9, an IR cut filter is needed with this lens. I took some photos of a pretty sunset a few days ago.
here are the images form that session: CV 50mm 1.1 - raid

At one stage, a surfer showed up, so i took some photos when it was difficult to focus on him in the sunset. Some came out nice. I have not deleted any of the images.

I like the lens already. It seems to be a fun lens to use.

#3 and 4 could sell this lens anytime.

One of the most under-rated lenses ever made.
