Honestly dont understand why it would be "stupid". Theres a lot more differences than simply matching a slow lens with a fast one....I think the most stupid thing you could do is to pair a Noctilux (either version) with a Summilux 50 mm. If you want two 50 mm lenses then get a Noctilux (either version) and a Summarit-M or Elmarit-M 50 mm but not a Summilux. Or restrict yourself to one single 50 mm lens which would preferably be the Summilux-M 50 mm Asph. Or (2nd choice) a Noctilux-M 50 mm 1:0.95 Asph ... but not a Noctilux-M 50 mm 1:1 which always should be paired which a slow-speed 50 mm lens.
I am now using the .95 as my only 50mm, coming from the 1.0 and 1.4 Asph. Over the last few months, I have been using the .95 on the street. One issue I have is that the nocti's both focus a lot slower than the 1.4. If you are pre-focusing, it likely doesn't matter, but if you focus in real time the slow movement of the lenses and long throw may bother you on the street when you try to react quickly.since money is an object. have an opportunity to buy .95 and the 1.4 lux. but was thinking from the previous posts that it might be smarter to use a 1.0 and 1.4? any thoughts would be appreciated. street photos mostly.
What slow lens? :bugeyes:Honestly dont understand why it would be "stupid". Theres a lot more differences than simply matching a slow lens with a fast one....
