Have you ever run into a situation where
a one stop difference in shutter speed has
made the difference between an acceptably sharp subject
(say a person engaged in converstation)
and an unnacceptably blurry one?

	measures in rather short inches ...

	of this lens as medium, not just as a vile means to an end.

	that it is beyond reproach by general consensus,

	NHG II 800 (color neg), try some at ISO 1600,
	a "clean" one stop push: That aspect of the lens,
	professional Low Exposure Value Photography,
	definitely adds to Noctilux product envy.

		Could you see yourself re-equipped
	with a LEICA Noctilux ? Start visualizing !
