Something new from me

[Tom Lowe]

Epic M at ISO 1000 4K 120fps with Leica M mount 50mm Noctilux f/0.95.

 

[Pawel Achtel]

I was wondering about that. There is less than 1 stop difference between Master Primes or Summilux-C and the Noctilux f/0.95.
Considering that the corner light falloff on the Noctilux f/0.95 is a few stops, there should not be that much benefit shooting at f/0.95 rather than f/1.2.

What is your view on this, Tom? You shot with all of them

Having said that, the footage looks spectacular.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Pawel, I need more time shooting MP against this lens to know. I think that is about to happen.

 

[Joe D'Arcy]

Hi Tom,
This footage is sensational (No surprises there). Its great to flick on Reduser and be inspired by work like this.

[Tim Lüdin]

Very niiice. Other people have to do that in postpro.
Nothing beats the real thing.

Very cool.

Tom,
Did you use NeatVideo?

 

[Kemalettin Sert]

its so soooooft..softer than Zeiss HS.MP is sharpest even @ full open.You shot RedLog? how much you paid for the 50 0.95?

 

[Elsie N]

Motion Art Tom. Motion Art.

 

[Brian F Kobylarz]

Very well executed Tom - sensational as always.

Could you share the sources for the light that plays on the dancer?

 

[Jason Diamond]

Beautiful shot Tom. was this with your Steadi-op?

Great stuff man!

 

[Julian Banos]

More!!!

 

[Doug Beatty]

I reaaaaaallly would like a Noctilux, but I would also like to hang onto both my kidneys rather than selling one off. I'll just have to save up a while and hope for an EF Hyperprime.

Great work Tom!

 

[Marco Montenegro]

Tom, I always love your stuff! Thank you.

 

[Mark Kern]

Why is she holding an iPhone? Some kind of riddle...

I really love it, btw. Keep staring at it. Can't wait for my Leica mount to arrive. I have the older f1 Noct.

Question. Isn't the Noctilux a full-frame lens?

Meaning...if you were to shoot 5K and crop in on the glass....would you even notice the falloff?

And at 4k...with a full 1.6x crop....would you even see it at all?


PS --> Tom, your clip is totally insane. Love it. The creamy skin tone and gorgeous bokeh are NUTS!

 

[Mestizo Devon]

AMAZING!

 

[Tom Lowe]

Tom,
Did you use NeatVideo?

There is no noise reduction or really any color correction at all going on in this clip. I might have upped the contrast a little bit, but that's it. I was just mesmerized by the motion and bokeh, and so I wanted to share it right away.

Pawel, as mentioned, I don't think falloff is going to be a problem for this lens, even with Dragon. I realize it's not that much faster than an MP, but maybe it can make the difference between being able to shoot at 120fps, instead of 96, for example? I am ALWAYS fighting for light. I think this lens is good to add to any kit, if one can afford it, and the Leica M mount.

Tom, I have the Spacecam mount and have shot my kids for a test with the Noct f/1.0 but your test is really a great example of how creamy and wonderful the falloff is.... Thanks for inspiring

[Tom Lowe]

Peter, I think every narrative shooter should have this lens in their kit.

By the way, I am working on a longer version of this video, which will hopefully be done soon.... just more footage of this same girl on the Noctilux .95.

Can't wait to see the longer version. Beautiful work as usual, Tom.
