Bridging the Decades. Nikon Glass on Leica Silicon There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you mount a piece of legendary Nikon iron onto the digital pinnacle of the Leica M system. The Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIS is a relic of an era where character outweighed clinical perfection, a lens known for its dreamy wide open glow and its tank like construction. Pairing it with the Leica M11 via the K&F Concept F to M adapter might seem like a heresy to purists, but in practice, it’s an ... Read the story

The Voigtlander 50mm f/1.0 Nokton For a generation of photographers who appreciate the tactile experience of manual focus and the look of ultra fast glass, the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.0 Nokton has emerged as a truly exceptional standard prime. Born from Voigtlander's tradition of combining classic design with modern optical engineering, this lens stands out not merely for its sharp, premium, all metal build, but for its headline grabbing maximum aperture of f/1.0. In a world increasingly satura ... Read the story

With a maximum aperture of up to f/0.95, Noctilux lenses are considered to ... Read the article
