Couldn't find much more ... but look at that lens body! Isn't it gorgeous?
 
Nice! Might sell my V4 cron and get this if its
Decent

I would assume that it uses the same optics as the M39 mount version, and that they only put it in a new body. The old 50/1.5 was fantastic, so I see no reason why this shouldn't be.

Maybe Stephen knows something more?
 
Today is the first day of CP+, the annual photographic industry expo here in Japan. I suppose the new CV lenses were announced there!

Very interesting styling on the Nokton. Very reminiscent of the vintage (1950s) LTM Nokton 50/1.5 :)
 
Have always loved the Screwmount version, can't wait for tha M ...
Looks Beautiful in both versions ...Blk & Chrome ;)

A Must Have !

Indeed, see here: http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20130131_585912.html

It seems the body design is a quotation of the rare 50/1.5 that was made in M39 mount in the 50ies, compare http://www.cameraquest.com/vgtnok.htm
 
I have and love the LTM version and normally don't get too excited by M mount versions of CV LTM's but this may be an exception. What a beauty in chrome.
 
I would love a very good 50mm f/1.4.
Not sure I like the focus ring (looks nice, but I'm not sure how it behaves in real life)
I think I see a 0.8 on the focus ring. It may focus down to 0.7, or maybe only to 0.8...
anyway, a long waited lens (with the Zeiss 2013 elusive creature)
 
That chrome 50 mil Nokton is the cat's meow !

It sure looks nice.

It would look extremely good on a Leica IIIf if it was ever made in LTM.
 
That's a wrap!

If they managed to make it somewhat smaller, that would be great.

It is pretty much one of the best 50s out there regardless of manufacturer.
 
Ahhh shucks! I already have three 50's, two of which are faster than this, but you can't have too many 50's.
 
I thought I was through with buying lenses for now but ..... the chrome Nokton really gets my GAS going. Besides, I haven't bought anything from Stephen in a long time.

Nice - we've been awaiting this for a long time (based purely upon rumours). The 42.5mm f0.95 for MFT looks really interesting too.
