[Leica] Bar Mestres

[Don Dory]

I think that the use of the Noct and a 50 ISO film recreates an atmosphere
from times past.  For exhibition you might try a paper with slightly poorer
whites to add to the atmosphere.  As to in body stabilization, it can be a
lifesaver at focal lengths longer than 35mm.  However, with modern lenses
F1.25 to F1.4 can be quite capable it ISO's around 800.  I do think that
your artistic goal of documenting a passing iconoclastic place in a style
suitable to a timeless feel was accomplished quite well.

With that said, take your 35 Summilux back with your M monochrome and shoot
letting your ISO climb to 20,000 and you will achieve a different but
similar result.  The smaller lens might help your cloak of invisibility.

All the best.
