Ah, well, Masa@ has made his photo of the Noctilux .95 private. Not sure why, as I did not hear any concerns mentioned from him/her. Maybe there was another issue elsewhere. Coming to our rescue is futureancient with another great view of the M9 and the Noctilux. Plus, Matt’s photo has taken off with rocketing buzz. Great work again Matt! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what a lens! This photo by MASA@ on Flickr gives you a great perspective on what it takes to make a lens with a wide-open aperture of .95. Lots of glass, even when Leica is making the lens. It’s kind of like putting a telescope, which is just a huge light collector, on your M9.
Of course, I’ve never actually seen one of these lenses in person. And I doubt I could ever get myself to spend $10k on one. But it sure would be fun. Low light. Very shallow depth of field. Lot’s of exercise lifting it to my eye. Awesome!
And, nice photo MASA@. Thanks for posting it!
