[Leica] noct .95 Noctilux Stacking

[Mark Rabiner]

Noctilux Stacking
There was a period around the year 2000 which was a time of the Noctilux. I landed a new one from a loose windfall in August 2001.  Reverse financial embarrassment. So I was not the only one I knew who didn’t have a Noctilux hanging around my neck. Cost me 3.5 grand a bunch more than my bread and butter 100mm f3.5 CFi Planar T* Zeiss (for Hasselblad).
And unlike most anything, Nikon gear or anything else in life I can sell it more now than what I got it for. That and a good apology you can wait forever for.  
I used to be able to drive up to Victoria and order a Mocha Grande for 3 bucks and get two bucks change.  
We’d stack our Noctilux fronted M’s on top of each other in bars next to large cigarette but filled ash trays on beer soaked wood tables and take pictures of them.
LUG people and LHSA people..

    >> I’ve never owned a Nocti because for my style I would rarely use it wide open, on the other hand is an expensive and quite big lens. However I’ve tested all the versions of the Nocti, the 1.2, the 1.0 E58 and E60, and the 0.95. If I could afford one I would be decided for the 1.0, the 0.95 is absolute perfection, I think it can replace any other 50mm you have (except the APO), the 1.0 is still magical….. A friend of mine has bought a minty 0,95 for 6.000 Euro, if you are patient you can find one.
