Here are my results: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rjrose/noctilux/L1003710.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rjrose/noctilux/L1003722.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rjrose/noctilux/L1003727.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rjrose/noctilux/L1000055.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rjrose/noctilux/L1000053.jpg.html You can try clicking on the first image, then using the navigation button to see the rest. You might be able to get the album at one time with one of these links, but the site seems to be very slow using these: http://gallery.leica-users.org/main.php?g2_itemId=92832 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rjrose/noctilux/ These were all taken in Old Town Pasadena. I used the 1.25x magnifier. The throw on the lens is so long that it seems important to guess the distance and pre-focus (somewhere near the right focus) before lifting the camera to my eye, so that the subject does not get distracted and stare at me, like what happened in 3722 (which is also the only one not at f/1). You may recall that I adjusted the focus cam to eliminate back focus, and I think it is successful. So, what do you think? Should I keep it, or sell it? Bob Rose
