Looking at this aperture makes me want to save up enough money some day just to buy a noctilux and a rangefinder that works with it.

Anybody have pictures of lenses with retardedly huge apertures? (other than the Noctilux and Canon 0.95)

PS, this image represents what I feel when I look through that lens.

Not my picture, of course. Extra points if you identify the camera and the guy who took the picture.

No idea, Serenar, let alone the author :[
Looks pretty cool though. I havent really looked into Konica cameras before the merger now that I think about it.

Ah, but then the camera isn't a Konica...

This isn't a 35mm camera lens, but who fucking cares

This one weighs almost 10kg and covers a measly 3mm image circle, but at f/0.5, it's at the theoretical limit of aperture.

Another ridiculous Soviet lens, not as bright, but fits Kiev/Contax 35mm rangefinders.

There's only one of these babies made and im suprised that not much people know it. It actually covers a 35mm image plane.

Zeiss made this to prove that making large aperture lenses is very easy (as it really is), but they're a bitch to get proper image quality with.

The unnaturally high aperture is archieved by using quartz elements rather than glass.

What i meant is that im NOT suprised that many people DONT know it. :)

Still, i wouldnt trade my 85/1.2L II for anything, it beats the hell out of noct's and other high aperture lenses in terms of image quality.

Can't ID the guy who took the picture- Stephan Gandy would be the obvious guess, but I didn't see it on his page about it- but after looking that up it sounds like a really interesting camera... a huge 1:1 finder with 50mm frames one can see outside of even far away sounds really nice. Too bad about the light-leaking shutter.

The Zeiss "Q" series had some impossibly awesome lens designs.

Yeah it's Gandy. Page is obviously the 60/1.2 Hexanon one.
