With the high ISO performance of digital cameras the Noctilux is obsolet. Just a “I can afford it” lens.
But then again Leica products are Veblen Goods where price does not factor in anymore.

Actually, you can grab the 50mm for a mere $13K, and have $1K pocket change left. Or, you could have the watch. Tough choice 😗.

The lens is overpriced but at least it's a damn good lens. The watch on the other hand...
I’ve never really had the need to even go to f2 on a Summicron…don’t think I need to pay for extra speed I don’t need

I could buy an M11 and 1-2 lenses
Or, you could go this route… 😁




And still have ~2k to spend on a quality watch. Though, buying film to run through these would eat that up quickly too….

Or you go this combo where I never needed to go higher than f4.
M3 + Canon 50/1.2
