I can hand hold my M6 down to 1/15th of second, however, the people I am shooting often don't "cooperate" and move. I scan negatives at 4000 dpi and process in Photoshop, so I can correct for almost everything except blur. I am considering a Noctilux so that I can shoot a higher shutter speeds and thus correct this problem. I know I could use faster film, but I like Fuji NPS and can see difference between this film and the ASA 400 and 800 films at 4000 dpi. I also know I could use a flash, however IMHO the "stealth" quality of the M is defeated if you use a flash. Given the vast experience of the members of this list, is there someone out there with a Noctilux who uses it in this fashion and, if so, does it make sense to do so? I have noticed that there are a number of used Noctilux lenses for sale, often they are in very good condition. So I was wondering why are people selling them; is it because the lens did not meet their expectations? Thanks, Jim Norris - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
