I'm likely going to wish I'd stayed quiet but ...
I suspect they are all too often bought by people with no special purpose in mind
Sorry, if this puts you in a spot. Could you point to some examples?

nothing that in any relates to you and nothing I care to dig about for. Just an impression based on years of reading posts from people wanting a 0,95 or a 1,1 for cameras (not even restricted to 4/3)Sorry, if this puts you in a spot. Could you point to some examples?
Looks as good as my Schneider 25mm f0.95, both vignette to a degree.Hacker sold one here: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11212&highlight=50mm
That was converted to Leica M mount and was a bargain!
But it does look good on the Leica, doesn't it?Rich, After the launch of the G1, 5 samples of the TV lenses (no mount) sold on eBay (UK) from one seller for ~ 55UKP/lens (buy it now).
In Hacker's thread I posted this link:

The specs are the remarkably similar to the "Noktor".
Of course not. You would need to crop the image down to about 3MP to get the same FOV with those lenses...Neither of them is an Angenieux 25/0.95 (type M2) or a SOM Berthiot 25/0.95.
Thanx god, it's NO noctilux. Where should I take money ... stealing? $ 11.680 for laughing Leica-people ...
Hot,Some people spend their money for [non existent] hypes
For +10.000% of price you get +5% "better" pictures, hehe ... if you firmly believe ;-)
It's not just you, Jonas, the samples are distinctly underwhelming. If I was in the market for an ultra-fast 50, I'd rather pay the extra USD 249 for the Voigtlander 50/1.1 Nokton. But I'm not, because I hate the 50mm focal length -- no matter what the format.Hot,
Don't you find some f/0.95 rolling around about the Senko lens?
The Noktor guys have updated their home site. The initial price seem to be USD 750. Still, too expensive compared to the Nokton. Maybe it's just me but I don't find anything nice at all in the Senko/Noktor samples.
In a hypothetical situation where you have 5 or 6 f/0.95 lenses to play with, you would know that just because a lens is superfast does not mean it has to provide images that look like objects inside a dirty pond.Some people spend their money for [non existent] hypes
