Who said anything about follow focus? Why buy a Noctilux and stop down??

A subject coming towards me I'm supposed to follow focus with another lens
than a Noctilux easier? Its not an easy thing to do with ANY rangefinder
50mm lens I'm not sure how much harder it would be stopped down with a
Noctilux. You want follow focus get an SLR.  You want a rangefinder camera
stop down and use wides and zone focas. You'll be shooting that way faster
and better anyway,
