Leica Noctilux 1.0 vs. 0.95 - different focus throw?

[emilsand]

I just found myself a 58mm filter thread Leica 50mm Noctilux f/1. I find that the long focus throw is something that I don't really enjoy, and was wondering if there's any difference with the new one. Does it still have the same long throw?

As the DOF is so tiny, accurate focus is a must, therefore a short throw like e.g. the 2/75 apo would not work with 1.0, even less with 0.95. But I haven't handled a Noct asph.

The ASPH Noctilux has a shorter focus throw. But if you want a Noctilux the F1 is the one to get in my opinion, otherwise just get the 50mm 1.4 ASPH.

Focus throw: 120 degrees ASPH vs 180 degrees F1

Fully agree.
The f1 has an incredible character that makes it so unique.
The 0.95 is no doubt a more technically up to date lens but atleast to my eyes, renders like a canon 135 f2 L

If you want a very short focus throw, do look at the Nokton 50/1.1

I have a copy and the priceerformance ratio is hard to beat
