Hi Mike,

I have to tell you, that you can look at all the Noctilux pictures you
want, but until you put it on the camera and see what "you can do with it"
are you really going to know if it's your kind of lens or not.

You've read the wisdom of Tina and maybe a few others, but until you
have that mama on the M model whatever you're using, are you going to
really know.

My advice?  "Go for it!" You can't lose simply because if you don't like
it, you just sell it. But if you get it, I bet you'll never part with it
if you are an adventuresome photographer.
