[Leica] Noctilux

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (tedgrant at shaw.ca)]

Always interesting babblefest when you lads and ladies get on with  the 
description of a fantastic lens like the Noctilux f 1.0 .

I've used mine since it came to market around 1971 under all kinds of 
conditions on various sides of the world from horse back rounding-up cattle 
in Alberta, Canada, the Olympics of Seoul, Korea, a medical room in a New 
York hospital in the USA, the birthing of a child and deep sea fishing 
trawlers on the Atlantic! Oh you can probably throw in a few more locations 
of memorable moments I don't have time to remember.
And not once did any of this techie babblefest ever come to mind.

I just put the Nocti f 1.0 on whatever model M body that happened to be at 
hand, took pictures for any number of assignments and got on with doing what 
I was suppose to be doing with only one thought, and one only???
........ "Had I caught the magical moment I saw through the view finder?" 
Remember it was film! Not the magical screens of today!

And that ladies & gentlemen is what being a photojournalist is all about! 
The content of the captured moment! The rest is merely wasted mental 
babblefest of nothing! It's the magic of the breathe sucking image on paper, 
the heart beats of excitement of success on the screens of today with it's 
countless positive feelings! Simply because...... "YOU CLICKED AT JUST THE 
RIGHT MOMENT!"

KISS FOLKS! The rest is nothing but diddy squat waste of mental energy!

Sue my dear I wish you all the success in the world with your new ... "when 
you receive it, f. 0.95 Noctilux!"
cheers,
Dr. ted  -)
