I remember when I got my Noctilux - indoor photography was no longer 1/15 and a deep breath :) we had just put in a new kitchen and I was experimenting with it at f/1 - damn if the pics didn't look like some big budget ad for the appliances with only a small zone of in focus with much of the "product" out of focus. Alas I sold it as I was just not using it for much else. I think if you can tolerate the extra weight it can be a definitely wonderful standard lens. ernie On Wednesday, August 20, 2003, at 06:29 PM, feli2@earthlink.net wrote: > The Noctilux arrived today.
