Hi guys
I just got this lens and was able to compare it in the Leica store with a Noct 0.95; and as established already by Fred Miranda in his lengthy publicly available review it is an absolutely fantastic lens. Wide open CA is very well controlled and it is very sharp. In fact, at 1/8 of the price of the Leica equivalent I am shocked.
I compared sharpness, aberration, edge performance, etc. and it beat the Noct on all accounts.
At 1.4 it also is seemingly outperforming the venerable 50 1.4 (no scientific test here). Just remarkable.
Although heresy in view of some, I am really happy with this purchase.
Just as a pointer for those interested in that super dreamy Noctilux look ...
