I'm mailing out my tuition checks and > thus cannot afford the Noctilux I lust after! This is my problem. Until I saw Rei Shinozuka's Noctilux images, I didn't think I could "need" a Noctilux. I have an ancient Summilux, which I almost always use wide open at f/1.4 precisely so it will put backgrounds out of focus. Every time I heard people rave about the Noctilux I told myself "Self, everything you need to do can be done with a Summilux". But now, because of those pictures, I don't believe it any more. But in a month I'll have 3 children in college when my daughter starts at Wellesley. Luckily there will be no global shortage of Noctiluxen in coming years.
