You may want to wait and get the issue of Photo Techniques that will have
Erwin's article "King of the NIght: The Special Qualities of the Leica
Noctilux-M".  Before he left, MIke Johnston said it would be coming out
soon.  I love my Noctilux and use it more and more.  At the LHSA meeting in
Charleston, I photographed some street scenes at night that could not have
been made without the Noctilux.  It has its drawbacks, but the advantages
outweigh them for me.  Tina
