Shot with the Leica M9

Not sure about the M9, but that is one fine piece of glass that I'll probably never be able to afford unless I want to sleep on the couch or in the garage permanently.

That's nice, but I want to see an image shot with it wide open!

That was wide open but the EXIF data shows 1.2. Since the lens is dumb The firmwear tries to calculate the stop based on the lens' coding and metered light.

Yeah you can't trust the exif on Leica digital range finders because the lens has no chip to tell the camera what's it shooting at.

Please post a shot with the "magical" rendering of OOF area for which the Nocti is famous for.

Well, since that's the case... Wow. That is sweet.

I'll see what I got but we weren't allowed to take the test gear out of the room and white walls just don't produce much in the way of Boken.

The presenter had one killer shot of his daughter low angle wide open directly in to the sun at sunset with a single perfect flare ring and great foreground and background boken.
