It creates mood or at least adds to the mood of the scene. again if properly handled and used appropriately. Sure the digital improvements that go on daily will make us use the Noctilux in even more locations than previously. The digital progress in the next few years, now a days maybe months? Will be beyond our wildest imagination. In ten? Now that's one I'd like to live to see and be part of! Oh and of course with a Noctilux on an M of some version that nobody has even posted on their big wish list in the sky! :-) ted
