Well, there remains the small problem of focusing -- the new Noct, in common with its predecessors in the F line, is a manual-focus lens only.

Okay, then you could test the resolution by shooting a black cat sleeping...

Thank you, Birna. Even 200k are still usable and better than film at 1600 ASA. Stunnig.

Indeed, impressive.    I've still not had a need to shoot beyond ISO 12,800...but it is good to see that these images are possible well beyond what I am shooting.   I might need to experiment a little bit more!  :D

note that with earlier generations the exposure latitute gets smaller and smaller the higher you pump the ISO. With a rental D5 I saw similar results at ISO 100k, but half a stop makes a huge difference like it was with slide film in film days

True, I definitely keep those kinds of factors in mind when the need comes to shoot ISO 3200 and beyond.

FWIW, here's the cross section of the comming 14-30/4.0 Zoom for the patent application.  L41 is the focusing element.

Which one will be first? The new Noct or this one? :D

It's a toss-up at present, me thinks. Need to ensure there is enough funds in the banking account, though.

My wild guess is that both Neo-Noct and 14-30 zoom will be releast at the same time.  At this moment, they are the only Z lenses whose outlooks are known.
