[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Bob, Since I tried the Nocti on my M8, It did not show any light fall off.

Maybe Tina or Geoff may have some insight on this. gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Adler" <rgacpa at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2012 5:59:13 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Leica] Help with Nocti Hi Gene, With the Nocti's light fall off, I wonder if the setting of the M for this lens has an impact...
