With the lux you only get a stop more (but the result will be more less like if you put a faster film with the summicron) but with the Noctilux you get also a new kind of pic mainly because of the shallow DOF that will give a new "dimension". Drawback: strong vignetting at F1. logan P.S: it seams that the Bokeh of the Noctilux is better rated than the one of the lux :-) >From: "George Kenney" <georgekenney@earthlink.net> >Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >Subject: Re: [Leica] Low Light Lens Dilemma: 35 Lux or Noctilux? >Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 00:26:00 -0400 > >If you want a cool lens, the Noctilux is a no-brainer. > >35 is OK (I have the Summilux ASPH) but is 'ordinary' compared >with the Noctilux.
