My friend,
thanks for your kindly words
The King is not a easy lens, but when you know it
you can make your photo dreams reality.
Remember of out focus effects, and Nlux marries
with fuji films (my opinion)
Good work

Oggetto: +AFs-Leica+AF0- Noctilux fever.......
+AHw-Tina and Guido, you'll be proud of me when you
hear what I
+AHw-did this weekend+ACE-
+AHw-
+AHw-I went into my local dealer with my 24/2.8 ASPH,
planning on
+AHw-trading it for something else I would use more,
like another
+AHw-M body or whatever. John, my buddy at the
delaer, told me
+AHw-that some guy had special ordered a Noctilux 3
months ago
+AHw-and that it came in 3 days ago. He bought it,
took it home, and
+AHw-brought it back the next day saying it was too
heavy+ACE- Obviously
+AHw-not a workhorse of a photographer+ACE- Anyways,
John bought it back
+AHw-and grudgingly gave him back his money minus
restocking fee.
+AHw-So there it was........a brand NEW Noctilux, not
even having seen
+AHw-a roll of film, sitting on the back shelf of the
shop, not even ready
+AHw-for display yet. I saw it and broke out in a
sweat. I asked if I could
+AHw-try it on my M6HM. I said +ACI-my dear Noctilux,
what a large front
+AHw-element you have+ACEAIg- She said with a coo, +ACI-the
better to gather
+AHw-light for you and give you amazing photographs+ACEAIg-
It was love
+AHw-at first sight+ACE- I snatched her up and never
looked back....luckily
+AHw-John gave me full credit for my 24/2.8 return,
but I have no regrets.
+AHw-Now, I too can capture the sprit of darkness+ACEAIQ-
Thanks for piqueing
+AHw-my interest in this Goddess of a lens Tina and
Guido+ACE-
