Using my M6, 200 ISO Kodacolor film and my Noctilux at f1.0, my exposure required shutter speeds of 1/4 and 1/8. The depth of field was acceptable since the background was out of focus favoring the subjects. My only problem was some camera movement at the low shutter speeds and focus errors when the light made range setting difficult. Next time, I will use my M3 to improve the rangefinder use and a faster film to permit faster shutter speed. I sure love the Noctilux. It makes unposed pictures without subject awareness a breeze.
