LEICA : now a watch-brand ;-)

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
