If you're not prepared to use it lots of times at f 1.0 for it's very unique look, but prefer the deep depth of field look I don' buy the Noctilux. You'll find general feelings by most who have one, fined it to be a very excillerating lens to use. But think lots of images where you never thought it possible to shoot hand held in the dark! :) It's truly an "available darkness lens!" And if you're not into available existing light shooting, don't go Noctilux. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
