I DO KNOW VERY WELL HOW TO USE A "LEICA NOCTILUX "F1" 50MM LENS" THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHILE SHOOTING AT F1.O AND AVAILABLE LIGHT OR WHATEVER????? I HAVE HAD ONE FOR YEARS AND USED IT AT F1 UNCOUNTABLE TIMES! WHY? BECAUSE IF YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE SUBJECT BY EXISTING/AVAILABLE LIGHT? JUST POP THE LENS WIDE OPEN TO F1.0 AND CLICK AWAY! OH YEA SOMETIMES AT A SLOW SPEED AT TIMES. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH IN MY MUCH YOUNGER DAYS AS A "PHOTOJOURNALIST?" I COULD SHOOT, ""MIND YOU VERY CAREFULLY!!"HAND HOLDING AN "M"LEICA" FOR 1 SECOND AND STILL CAPTURE SHARP 50MM, F1.0 PICTURES! NOT MANY THOUGH?" YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT? HARDLY AT ALL? "OTHER THAN YOUR BREATHING AND SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON."CLICK CAREFULLY!!" YOU SHOULD TRY THAT IN A COWBOY BUNKHOUSE WITH CANDLE AND LAMP-LIGHT!! CERTAINLY DURING A CATTLE ROUND-UP IN CATTLE COUNTRY? ALBERTA, CANADA DURING ROUND-UP TIME IN THE FALL.!!!!:-) LOOK FOR ANOTHER BOOK OF MINE ALL ABOUT REAL COWBOYS!!! :-) "MEN OF THE SADDLE. WORKING COWBOYS OF CANADA." THE PHOTOGRAPHY IN THAT BOOK WHEN "MOVIE-STAR JOHN TRAVOLTA" SAW THE PHOTOGRAPHY? HE HAD ME ASSIGNED TO SHOOT THE PRODUCTION STILLS!" FOR HIS MOVIE ""URBAN COWBOY." TOUGH PART OF THAT ASSIGNMENT WAS RIDING HORSES AND SHOOTING AT THE SAME TIME!"HOWEVER I DID HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH THE "HOLLYWOOD FOLKS!! :-)" I MAY HAVE SOME NEGATIVES ON FILE???????? IF NOT? ALL THE ORIGINAL FILM IS IN THE "NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF CANADA" VAULTS!!! IT'S F.1.0 AND BE THERE!!!!!

Call ZENIT!!! Why?
