Noktor Ultra Fast Cinema Lenses

[MichaelHalsell]

Low cost, not too heavy and big, not too fast (1.8 is enough with the new sensors also regarding focus pulling), proper manual mechanics, get a different coating than anybody else (signature) and you've got a product thats a bit different than the competition and you'll sell more. cater the niche market. can't join the big boys.

to say it in one word, cooke panchros 2010 (but not as costly as the cooke ones and maybe 2.0 instead of 2.8)

the "cheaper" lenses also dont have more intersting focal lenghts,

what about a set of:

15, 21, 27, 33, 38, 45, 66, 72, 88? I'd buy that

Practical observations.

You're clearly interested in "hyper-primes", as you call them - don't let the doubters talk you out of making a unique and interesting product.

I agree, if you think there is a market, go for it.

btw, since we are all dreaming.
A well designed/made 16-128mm (8x) T2 zoom for around 20K USD would be a big hit,
if it could match the quality of most primes.

I've used some Noctor stuff on my Leicas and it's wonderful! I'm right now shopping for some decent priced high quality pl mount primes and am having a very hard time finding much. It's either expensive, or crap......very little in the middle. I'd love a new set of Cookes, but it's out of my league.....on the other end of the spectrum is old worn out you-fix it glass or "f/need surface of the sun" junk to get a decent image. I'd buy Noctons in a minute, and agree iris control is essential.
