I'll address the photographs some other time.

In the OP, what's with the external finder on what is apparently a tele lens? M8 has framelines up to 90, and no one makes a 135 on 1.33x crop shoe finder.

>Maximum Lens Aperture f/1.0
>F-Number f/3.0

You don't buy the Noctilux to shoot it at f/3. At f/3 it's just a really big, really shitty fifty. If I'm mistaken and the EXIF is just reading funny, forgive me, but I've never seen aperture or maximum aperture in the M8's EXIF data before on anywhere I've seen its images with EXIF data.

No, but the reason you buy the Noctilux is to shoot it pretty wide open and get that dreamy look/no depth of field. At f/3, it's just another 50mm, with lower quality because of all the compromises that go into making an f/1 lens.

If you're not planning to shoot really fast, but just want a normal, the 50 Summilux ASPH. is a much better lens, and smaller and cheaper, too.

Self-fixing: short tele. Not thinking.

Have you forgotten this is Leica we're talking about? Probably has no need for a noctilux, but since having one is like getting another merit badge, well.. you get the idea.

Well, let's convince them otherwise.

I think it is cheaper to just make an f1 lens from scratch than to buy a noctilux :x
