[Leica] A brief personal review of the Nokton 50mm f1.1 and a couple of pictures

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Hi Nathan,
I do think it's a very good lens.  I am not sure whether I would have 
bought it if I had a Summilux 50 rather than the Summicron.  Gaining an 
extra (as near as makes no difference) 2 stops made it worthwhile.

Then again, if it means the difference between shooting at ISO 640 
rather than 320...

Admit it, you're really tempted by the thought of a 100mm f1.1 on the 
GF1 aren't you...;-)

Cheers


Mark
