We will have to wait and see..... 

And for those that just can't wait, and MUST HAVE a faster than F1.4 50 mm
lens, and refuse to raid their 401K, call up Stephen Gandy and order
yourself a 50 F1.1 Nokton.... and save 91% of the price of the Nocti.....

91% is a LOT to save......  OTOH it IS only 2/3 of a stop faster than the 50
Summilux.... at roughly half the cost of a used one.....

Oligarch marketing is sure not fun for the rest of us......

I've read all sorts of rumours on price.  $1K, $2K and all the way up to
$5K. They might well wait a bit to see how expensive it is to make as an
actual production item.
