New Orleans based photographer Richard Thompson III was among the first to try out the Noktor HyperPrime 50mm f/0.95 Micro Four Thirds lens, and has recently updated his flickr pool with some stunning new captures. The reason for my reporting on this is that when the Noktor was first announced, a lot of people bashed the lens for being a tweaked CCTV lens with mediocre image quality. But as you can see from Richard’s pictures, in the right hands this lens can be made to shine (as is true for virtually any lens).
