I'd love to know if this magical style is just due to f1.0 lenses or if there is something special about the leica. I have a review of the Canon 50L here... http://www.ans.com.au/~chrisb/photo/equipment/canon/50_1.html and there are some pictures. Perhaps some Noctilux owners can look at them to see if the effect is comparable or not. I'm not sure if the quality of the web is good enough, but you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. Hey, you won't see the severe vignetting, but if you desperately want that you could put the wrong lens hood on :-) - -- Chris Bitmead http://www.ans.com.au/~chrisb mailto:chrisb@ans.com.au Unix: You think it won't work, but if you find the right guru, you can make it work.
