Both camera bodies focused on the flcus point at cloest distances - whew!! this is a lens I will have to get used to!! Nothing unusual about the B7W as I only had two exposures left on the roll when I got the lens. But the Reala is a different story - 25 of the 36 were with the Noct. All inside shots at f/1.0 under fairly low lighting - except in the mall. I don't use it very well - but was satsified with the prints. Pre wedding reception, walkersw in our mall, etc. The interesting shots were of my daughter's cat. Very black, very fluffly in a darkened room. The M6 indicated f/1.0 at 1 sec!!! Took three - hand held. It was so dark that it was real difficult to focus on the cat. They all came out overexposed!!! Yes I know that 18 deg grey card is what the camera is metered for - but I didn't think I would have to allow for this in these kind of conditions!! Instead of a very dark cat in a dark room - it looks dark grey cat in a room with about normal lighting!!! Maybe I had a light leak in the camera body that came back out through the lens and lit up the cat!!!!!!!!!!! Whoee!! Thanks Tina and Ted. Dick - --------------- Dick Hemingway Plano, TX
