Subject: Big Aperatures and Softness

I've been shooting a friends 35/1.4 at night lately and have found that the
inherent softness and lack of contrast is USEFUL (huh???, has he lost his
mind??). Night secenes are so damned contrasty anyway it serves to flatten
them out to a printable range. Tonight I'm visiting a jazz club and trying a
new noctilux. I'll give some feedback when I see the film.
