You want to photograph portraits of people moving around using the (by design manually focused) Leica Noctilux 75mm f/1.25 ASPH with autofocus? Here is a solution!
The following shots are all taken wide open with the Noctilux 75/1.25 attached to a Sony A1 using the Techart Pro LM-EA9 autofocus adapter. As the lens weighs about 1 kg, it is too heavy to be moved by the AF adapter mechanics. But if you hold the camera with a grip attached to the lens, it can be easily moved by the adapter. In this way, a very high rate of perfectly focused images could be achieved even with moving subjects, which would have been almost impossible with a Leica M rangefinder camera for which the lens was originally designed. Enjoy the artists and their creations captured by a magic lens on Hamburg's Maskenzauber 2025!
