I was researching the longest focal length lenses ever built and I found this article on the 11 Most Interesting Lenses in the History of Photography.

Ted,
Thanks for commenting.
I also really liked this article, but the Portuguese version, published by the iPhoto Channel is even better because it has pictures or videos showing the photos and films made with each lens.

The Noctilux would be nice. I spoke to a wedding photographer who uses one and he said that his was the best investment he had ever made. It allowed him to work wide open with no flash and completely differentiated him from his many competitors. He said it had paid for itself many times over.
Graham,
Thanks for answering!
Many of these lenses are not compatible with my Nikon D5300, but assuming they all do, my lens choice would be the same as yours (the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f / 0.95).
As for the other lenses, the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f / 0.7 could also be a good choice, but the fisheye lens and tele objectives are too big and heavy to be useful for me.
Cheers,
Antonio.
