Yeah, way cooler in terms of numbers, only 800 made. OK, less as I know of at least one that is damaged! In terms of signature, has some swirly bokeh too.but is it as cool as the Canon or the Nocti?
I am not into collectibles so the 60 was not high on my list considering the price. I agree that the 50 1.2 is a very sharp lens. That is one of the things i like about it. But if you focus on a close up object and then look at the boke' I don't think you will see any Nisen (double line) images. I love the bokeh. One of the things I disliked about the Canon 0,95 was the lack of sharpness almost anywhere. So I find the Hexanon 50 1.2 a good balance. However i am relatively new with this lens so down the line I may change my mind.Yeah, way cooler in terms of numbers, only 800 made. OK, less as I know of at least one that is damaged!

Lack of contrast, yes. Lack of sharpness, no.One of the things I disliked about the Canon 0,95 was the lack of sharpness almost anywhere. Woody
You can DIY if you are brave. Some have done it, and there is a link with pictures. I cannot find it now, but you have to Google it.Gero, Contact Amin (asabet). He collected all the info about getting it converted to a Leica M mount. I deleted all the pms we exchanged (box filled up). I guess he would still have them.
I had mine converted by Mike at EastCamTech.can someone tell me what I have to do to use this lens on a Leica M?
I had one done by him too, good work, but a lens converted for the M3/CL will not work with the M8. I wrote to him to convert one more, but he is not taking any orders for now. He also mentioned that he prefers to have the camera and the lens sent together.
John, thankyou. I sent a mail to him.
Both can be converted. My was from a Canon 7.are you people sure that the one with the canon mount can be modified?
I am thinking that the one for tv is, but not sure about the one for the canon7s.
Don't think that will work. The camera has no value but for the lens and the conversion add to the value. I think the best you could do would be to swap the camera and lens with cash for a converted one. If you have the lens, conversion is the way to go.or I could exchange the camera and lens for one already converted. Anybody want to try that?

thanks for all the help. I'll try it.Of the four techs that did the conversion, Don from DAG and Ken from Bald Mountains have the best.
That looks nice. Is this an unmodified lens? It seems like the breech-lock levers are intact. I would prefer to leave the lens untouched to use it on my G1 (if possible). Any idea if there's a direct adapter available?
