Leica Noctilux 50/1,2 1966

[Popeye]

"Hierzu zwei Zitate von Erwin Puts zum Canon FD 1:1,2/55 mm S.S.C. Aspherical:
"Some commentators called the Canon FD 1.2 aspherical the best standard lens in the world. It is hard to disagree."
"In 1971, when the Noctilux was still being produced and sold, Canon introduces their own version of an 1.2 design with aspherics. Presumably they could not stand the humiliation of being defeated by the Leitz construction, at least wide open.
With this lens Canon pulled all stops. See my report on the Canon design here. The Canon aspherical is wide open clearly better than the Noct 1.2. Especially in the outer zones the Canon is much improved and in the center of the image the Canon has an impressive performance, that surpasses the one you get from the Noct. Stopped down the Canon wins easily. Wide open at 1.2 you will note a difference in approach of correcting aberrations. The Canon has a very good image quality ove the whole picture frame, where the Noct concentrates on the center part of the image. Whatever the approach, the Canon design gives the better imagery, aperture for aperture."

Angeregt durch diese Aussage habe ich heute Abend mal die Preise des Canon 55mm 1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical in der Bucht überprüft.
Da scheint ja auch ein Hype drum zu passieren. Die Angebotspreise liegen ja inzwischen in einem nicht mehr nachvollziehbarem Bereich.
Scheint sich wie überall nur noch eine Blase aufzubauen.
Bin mal gespannt, wo das hinführt.
