[Leica] Playing with a Noctilux (1)

[Ted Grant]

Hi LLUIS & LUG CREW,
ACTUALLY I HAVE USED THE "LEICA F1.0 NOCTILUX" DURING THE PAST MANY YEARS SIMPLY BECAUASE IT'S SO EASY TO USE, CERTAINLY WIDE OPEN AT F1.0 AND AVAILABLE LIGHT! WHICH I LIKE FOR MY SHOOTING OFTEN.
YOU SEE ONE OF MY PHOTO MOTTO'S IS? AND I HAVE OFFERED THIS BEFORE!

"IF I CAN SEE IT? I CAN SHOOT IT IN NATURAL LIGHT !" SO BIG DEAL, LOTS OF IMAGES ARE SHOT AT F 1.O! YEP AND WHEN YOU START AT F1.0 WIDE OPEN? YOU JUST BLAST AWAY VERY CAREFULLY AND QUICKLY AND A LOOK OF NORMALACY TAKES OVER THE BEAUTY OF YOUR PRINTS! 
OH SURE YOU HAVE TO BE SMOOTH AT TRIPPING THE SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS. HOWEVER? THE MORE YOU SHOOT AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BETTER YOU BECOME SHOOTING AT SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS WITH HARDLY A THOUGHT. 
ALSO YOU  CAN CAPTURE SO MUCH MORE OF NATURAL LIGHT IMAGES THAT ARE FAR MORE ENHANCING TO YOUR PHOTOS! 
HEY LUGGITTES HAVE A GO AT IT? YOU MIGHT BE QUITE SURPRISED! OH YES AND SHOOT FROM THE SHADOW SIDE!!!!
CHEERS,
Dr.Ted GRANT O.C.

Thanks for looking Don, you are right in my opinion it is easier to manage the Noctilux at F 1 than the Summilux at F 1.4, the DOF is very similar, maybe even the Summilux is more powerful to isolate the subject but it is more difficult to adjust the right focusing and on the other hand you shall be at a longer distance from your subject, I’m quite used to shot my subjects quite close and at alongrr distance it is more difficult, sometimes you don’t have enough espace, sometime there are people passing and making more difficult to shot.

Some time ago I’ve tested the Noctilux 0.95, it more perfect but Ilike the certain “glamour” the F 1 gives, on the other hand, shooting at f 0,95 is not easy.
