Do people really have $10,000 for a lens to go on their $7,000 M9? Or I guess a better question would be if people really need that extra stop and a bit of light for $6,500 more than any other 50mm lens.
DPReview writes – “At the new 0.95 full aperture, depth of field is so shallow as to allow the most aesthetic portraits”
Leica writes – “The extremely shallow depth of field at open aperture produces portraits and detailed studies of unequalled aesthetic effect”
I have to agree with Leica and disagree with DPReview. A wide open F0.95 aperture doesn’t make portraits more or less aesthetic, but will provide an effect that cannot be matched.
