Don
Thank you for your comments, I’m agree, a 35mm Lux at ISO 800 is a perfect combi you describe to keep the real atmosphere documenting old places preserving the invisibility, this time I wanted try to do a certain challenge, go with a 50 ISO film and shoot at 1:0, someones at 1/15. ISO 800 will give enough good results, it is a shame that the Noct is big, but I have also the Lux 50 V2 smaller and very good performer, some time ago I did a comparison with a Noctilux from a friend and I can say that I don’t saw any difference with both, except for the bokeh .

Best wishes
Lluis
