D., #1...! Now that's a Noctilux moment! :-) Well done. I'd not be without mine as it allows capturing little moments of life that otherwise would be missed. And before anyone comes back with,'' if you use super extra speed film etc etc etc who needs an f1.0?" Hell anyone who "sees" life's moments and doesn't just look at life's moments. Not only that, they have no fear of shooting where others fear to expose! And when the "use super speed film who needs a Noctilux" comes up here's something for a quiet thought. Look, have you any idea how dark it can be with a Noctilux at f 1.0 using 1600 or 3200 film at say 1/15th and still make exposures? Quite acceptable quality photographs and amazingly captured moments. Although I'll say... "If you are a afraid to shoot at f1.0, for heaven sake never buy a Noctilux! That would be like buying a Porsche and never driving it faster than the 55MPH speed limit! ;-) Besides if you have a Noctilux eventually you'll try it wide open! And the Porsche? Hell you know sooner or later on one of those super highways and a long strait stretch you're going to try it wide open! ;-) So there go eh, buy a Noctilux and Porsche and yer in heaven, wide open with both! ;-) ;-) Your last picture might be your best picture! ;-) Anyway B. D. a cool photograph illustrating exactly what can be done with a Noctilux. ted
