NEX & Leica love: the Leica Noctilux 50mm f/1.0

Imagine how it would be to use a $6,550.00 lens on you NEX camera! Yes such an expensive lens does really exist and of course it is a Leica
Darren Chan posted some image samples on flickr taken with the NEX-5 and the Noctilux. Some other image samples have been also posted on SonyAlphaNex. That’s almost all you can find on the web, not many user are going to buy that lens to use it on the Sony camera! Check out the Noctilux auctions on eBay (Click here) to see how much that lens costs. If you need a very fast lens for your camera I suggest you to wait for our next post where we will show you “cheaper” alternatives!
P.S.: You can use Leica lenses only via M-mount to E-mount adapter

That is not possible, because the flange distance on the DSLRs is longer than on the Leica M-mount. Leica M series has no mirror and can therefore have a short flange distance.
Also, a f/1 lens may be less usable. They are not very sharp fully open and very difficult to focus.
Best regards
Erik
