Comment:

A very good but not exceptional normal prime. Its unique selling point is the very large f/0.95 aperture, but considering the extremely high price and the impressive performance of its Summilux and Apo-Summicron siblings, one would expect the Noctilux to offer better optical performance when stopped down. A unique lens for special applications such as rangefinder street photography, low light concert photography and artistic portraits.
