Does anyone know anything about this lens?
Noktor 50mm f/0.95
An obvious ripoff of the noctilux 0.95 but about one tenth the cost.
I have seen some reviews, but they all seem somewhat biased and don't really give me much insight into the actual lens.
Also if anyone finds a good review please post! |

The NOKTOR 50 left me feeling a bit cold. Yes, it̢۪s a superfast 0.95 aperture lens but it is really hit or miss when using it at that aperture. From its softness and low contrast to it being very hard to focus accurately when wide open I am not sure sure that it is worth the hassle. The fact is, this lens is sort of like what a Leica Noctilux F0.95 would vomit out if it were sick. It̢۪s technically not a very good lens and many will consider it unusable until it is stopped down to F2, and at that aperture you have other choices in a 50mm lens for your m4/3 camera. |

Thanks - I did see the second review but the shots weren't as technical as the first. The first one sheds some truths about the lens, f/0.95 looks like a dog's breakfast. |
