Wired reports that Leica is rumoured to be bringing out a new super-fast lens at Photokina – the Noctilux 50mm ƒ0.95 – priced at a cool €8000 ($11,300).
I think the last time a lens that fast was commercially available was the Canon 50mm f0.95 rangefinder lens from the 1960s.
Not one for the average shooter I suspect… and your eyesight better be bloody good as the depth-of-field is going to be paper-thin with the lens full-open.
