(in Chrome) Anthony you are always pitting fixed lenses against zooms and from where I sit it's an insult to the fixed lens... not a fair comparison. The Noct is a monster because it is designed to do specifically what it does. MAKE VIABLE IMAGES AT F1. I wasn't designed to be a knock around snap shooter. Yes you can stop it down. Yes you can use it at high noon. Yes you can stretch it's use to the non obvious by using it to shoot slow films at lower light capturing action! Mark Rabiner!!
