[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've been using my new Nocti with the .72 (classic) for a month now. I'm finding that I don't like the built in shade and wished Leica would make it without that... That being said, I like sitting in pubs with my Nocti.. ;) I don't think the lower magnification makes any difference. It is, after all only 50mm. If you can find a user Nocti with the removeable hood, jump on it.. (then get it fixed and use it ;) .. don't jump on your equipment.. it doesn't like it. ) - -Mark *Who is currently running on 0 hours sleep in 3 days* Cohen On Wed, 21 Mar 2001, Mose, J P wrote: Question for the Noctilux 50/1 experts out there, Of all the versions of 50/1 Noctilux's since 1976, which would be the best one from a users standpoint (versus collectable) to purchase used? If they are all basically the same, is there one that is more of a bargain? This would be used on a M6TTL .72, mainly for concerts, museums or other locations that won't allow flash, etc. (I actually like A. H. Schmidt's idea of sitting in a German pub the best!). Hopefully, the lower magnification won't be too much of an issue with this camera. Thanks again for your help. J. P.
