[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am trying to decide between the 75 Summilux and the 50 Noctilux for low light photography. I photograph mostly people/cityscapes at sunrise and sunset handheld using TX and Delta 400. Maybe it is my old age or the caffeine but I can't seem to hold a camera steady anymore at 1/30 like I used to. I will be using either one of these expensive lenses probably wide open at 1/125 to avoid camera shake. Does anyone out there has any experience with the 75 Summilux? This is one lens that does not get mentioned too often. The reviews I have read on the Noctilux have been mixed. I am leaning toward the Summilux because the hood does not obstruct the finder, but it is slower. Any other opinions? PS, I do use a tripod when the subject is not of the mobile type. Thank you in advance.
