That Mini M and Nano M did not actually happen, did it?
About the Nocticron... The name, oh well... There was a time when all manufacturers were making up such silly names for their lenses (I have a Helioplan, a Solinar, a Delfinor, a Lattar, a Maginon, a Projar and a Talon :wacko: ). Just silly that Leica (and Zeiss) can't seem to stop that silliness.
A nice short portrait lens, a 85mm f2.4 FF equivalent. But probably at a much higher price than a 85mm f1.8 from Canon or Nikon (for FF).
It does give an advantage over APS-C. But I am more of a 135mm (FF) fan for portraits.
