I cannot find the stills, do you the link?
I would love to see what this lens is capable of. I currently use Canon FD 50mm 1.4 for low light, shallow DOF shots on my GH1, I am wondering if that lens is a worthy upgrade.

It seems the price is only $750! That’s disgustingly cheap but not that I would complain nor own a Micro Four-Thirds camera.

Have a Leica Digilux 3 (Four-Thirds) though.

I’ve got to ask, was this taken with flash?

Is the posterisation in the image (noticable on the face)the result of the Jpeg compression or the quality of the lens?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds very interesting. But beside of the Leica Noctilux there is also another much more cheaper option: Voigtländer 1.1/50 mm Nokton made by Cosina in Japan. I didn’t test it but a friend who tested it on his olympus pen said that Cosina seems to reach a quality level with this lens which refers to the former owner of Voigländer (which was Zeiss)… Here in Europe it goes for about € 950,-
