Don't like this kind of pictures but I have never found anything to take the place of a flash in this group setting. The family has been enjoying them for years....all made with Leicas, all perfectly focused, perfectly exposed and some enlarged to 11 x 14. Occasionally I will wash an interior shot with electronic flash and if done correctly you cannot tell it. Don't like it, but sometimes you need it. You know what, I don't feel like I am prostituting the camera when I do this. I love my Noctilux and I use it often, but there are times that it is not right for the job. These are wonderful and versatile instruments and it would be a shame not to use them for ALL types of photography. Sorry, I don't agree with your comment.
