[Leica] For Sale: pristine Nocti .95 COMMENTS!

[grduprey at mchsi.com]

I think everyone needs to cool off a bit.  As this is getting a bit out of hand and as far as I am concerned, I side with Ted, just use these wonderful lenses, and who really cares which is better.  They both are fantastic lenses.

Me, I would love to have any version of the Noctilux, IF I could only afford one.  As it is, I recently bought a used 50/1.2 Nikkor for my D4, which is about as close as I most probably will ever get to a Noctilux.  Yes, I know it does not even come close to be comparable, but then it only cost me $425.

So lets Kiss and make up, after all Uncle Ted is right on as to the importance of this argument.

Sue, I wish I could buy your lens, but since I cannot, good luck with the sale, and I hope you find a good f1.0 Nocti.

Gene

Hey Gals and Guys!

In over 60 plus years of using Leica cameras of many versions and all kinds
of their lenses?  "I HAVE NEVER EVER IN ALL THOSE YEARS HAD A CLIENT/ PHOTO
EDITOR (good, bad or horrid) And similarly the most severe of
"PHOTO-EDITORS'" ever ever make any kind of "camera, lens used, quality of
image in regard to lenses quality!' NEVER NEVER EVER EVER!

"STORY CONTENT, VISUAL IMPACT ALWAYS FRONT AND CENTER IS ALL THAT MATTERS!
Well OK in their eyes! AND MOST CERTAINLY MINE!

And when these are the folks paying the invoice I do not discuss lenses,
look, costs (well with Leica, you pretty well always had the best without
thinking about all this "diddly squat" stuff you guys constantly get hung up
on?" Hell I don't even know, nor ever knew anything about this stuff through
all my years? Until I joined the LUG.   NOW/today? Usually I pass it all up
as it means "diddly-squat" to the image quality in my shoot!"  Yep and you
guys, some of you will argue all you want!" NO COMMENT! :-) Buy my books and
see for yourself how well me and my Leica's are a dream team! ;-) Hey don't
get rattled we're just a cool team!   :-) :-) 

Have I had heart palpitations since not understanding it? Or "studying about
it like crazy and testing to try all this stuff out to "SEE IF THE CONTENT
WAS BETTER OR??" Making my photographs scream off the pages better?

"NOT ON YOUR SWEET LIFE!!!!! CERTAINLY WHEN YOU'VE BEEN USING A SYSTEM THAT
HAS GIVEN ME THE ASSGINMENTS,BOOKS. AND INTERNATIONAL NOTERITY MY KISS
SIMPLE METHOD HAS DONE FOR OVER 60 years using my LEICA'S RIGHT OUT OF THE
BOX BRAND NEW AND UNTESTED!! :-)

ok so now have a nice "technical weekend CREW!" :-)
cheers,
Dr. ted
