Nocticron the day after. RAW files for download and killer price discussions…

Share

Depth of field and sharpness are excellent at f/1.2 (Image on top via Quesabesde).

Our spanish friends over at Quesabesde (translation here) posted a first test of the new lens with RAW files available for download. Their first conclusion is rather positive:

The level of detail and resolution achieved this Nocticron is very high even at maximum aperture. If the center of the image resolution is spectacular the corner performance does not disappoint. The aberrations are well controlled,  the reflections do not seem a problem for optics. Vignetting is evident at f/1.2 and disappears at f/2.0. OIS is very effective.

I have little doubt that this is an extraordinary performer. it could even beat the Fuji 56mm f/1.2 in terms of optical performance and the Panasonic also has OIS and likely faster AF. Well, that’s the good side of the story. The biggest limit of the lens is the likely the price: $1,699 (here at BHphoto) is quite a lot, but you obviously get the best of all MFT lenses. So the question to you is:

Will you buy the lens?
