I picked this lens up a couple of months ago, have been using it on my Leica M9. Work has been "extremely busy", and taking some breaks while my Daughter is out of school.
This lens is fast, relatively compact, sharp, contrasty, and focuses to 0.7m. It uses 52mm filters. About the same size and weight as my Nikon 50mm F1.2 AIS lens. Same filter size.
With all that, why order the new 50mm f1.0 Nokton Aspheric?
I don't need a reason... I also have the Canon 50/0.95 and Canon 50/1.2. Same combo, just 60 years older.
Wide-Open,
At F2, shot through a store window.
Lots of aperture blades. The Nikkor 50/1.2 Ais has 9 aperture blades.
