Rei is so good at using the power of the Noctilux and minimizing it's deficiencies that using a different lens can be hard(sorry to use you, Rei, as an example). My point is that the lenses in the Leica stable are very powerful tools but distinctive in what they do: techniques that look good with one lens may not work with the new lens. Here I am talking about extremes, obviously the much photographed brick wall will always look good in leica-land. So, the point, work with a new lens to figure out for yourself what new options it opens up for you, it isn't just like your other lenses only longer/shorter/faster/slower. Getting back to the 75Lux, I find that it is better further into the field with less vignetting than the Noct, my center of interest can be not centered, and I can utilize near/far relationships with a steeper fall off in focus than even a Noct. 2 lira Don Dory dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
