This eBay listing made me smile - "Canon Noctilux"! But perhaps the vendor will create a new generic term for ultra-fast lenses ... Back in the "good old days" of the 1960s it was called the "Canon Dream", although I think that was a name the photo press may have adopted.

I never owned one but used a borrowed one a few times on a Canon 7. Performance was, er how best to decribe it? Well, pretty good for an f0.95 lens in the early 60s Smile Shots in badly lit places were certainly printable, and the wide aperture held off camera shake, but it certainly wasn't something you'd buy if you wanted high contrast. flare free negs that were pin-sharp from corner to corner. Horses for course as we used to say.

Its also very expensive considering you can get a brand new Voightlander Nokton 50mm f1.1 for over £100 less!:

I want to have this lens and the canon 7 cam. One of my dreams.

If don't remember wrong, the lens had a special bokeh that was the characteristic of it. Specially wide open.

And the canon 7 in the pic, wow !!!

Noctilux (the warmer leica lens) and the canon 0,95 will stay with me some day, I love the great gun lenses.

Orio I think you are talking about nikkor 6mm?

this one?


This thing is scary.


The only really scary fact about that one is a) its price of around 25.000, b) its weight and size and c) to get your feet out of the shot since it has 220 degrees FOV.

I had it, but sold it later, due to b+c.


Just wondering if you have shots from this beast that you can share?

On eBay, any plastic "toy camera" is described as a "Lomo" these days!

Klaus, Your gear look good. I'll try the one from my friend before I buy. I've any questions about comparing with Leica Noc 50/0.95.

The Canon 50/0.95 has a very bad reputation, usually spread by people who have never used one or by disappointed users who have tried in vain to get a properly focused picture wide open on their Leica. In fact, when I manage to nail the focus, it's not a bad lens at all, even wide open, when you consider its aperture of F/0.95, meaning that the diameter of the lens is actually larger than its focal length! Of course the bokeh gets a bit wild on close focus, but the lens is perfectly usable wide open to shoot a performance in low light on a Micro 4/3rds camera.

Here is an old sample taken on film with the Bessa R3M rangefinder:


F/0.95

And a few pictures taken recently with the Olympus E-P1 Micro 4/3rds digital camera:


F/5.6


F2.0


F/0.95


F/0.95

Cheers!

Hi Darosk, I was in Kota Kinabalu for Hari Raya. I love this city and we now have a daily Air Asia flight, which costs less than the gasoline to go there by car!

Cheers!

Thank you Klaus for the compliments.

You can see a poor E-P1 attached to a Canon 50/0.95 here.

Here's one more taken today with this combo -- it's rather out of focus but, who cares Wink:



Cheers!

Abbazz is your Canon 50mm 0.95 using a c-mount adapter to micro 4/3 camera? Or are you using a M-mount converted Canon 50mm 0.95?
Great shots.

Thank you skyisland for the kind words.

I was in Paris last week with the Canon 50/0.95. Here are some Autumn impressions of the city:
