Let me know,<<<<<< Ara, Well if you are going to be using it on the street at night and in jazz clubs you have only one lens.... the Noctilux! Yep the 35 asph is a great lens wide open, but the Noctilux sucks in light at f1.0 that even the asph 35 doesn't, just use them both under exactly the same light conditions and same film and you'll be surprised at what's on the Noctilux film that isn't there or much less visible from the asph. Why? Well Erwin could explain the technical aspects of that, me? I just use it and see what happens on film, B&W as well as colour with a Noctilux that doesn't happen with any other lens even when you jockey the film ratings. Go Noctilux for what you want to do there isn't any other choice! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
