since the noctilux is my "prime" prime lens, i've become
very spoiled with regard to speed.  even the 90 cron AA seems
slow!  you know the feeling; you change lenses, and all of
a sudden the best shutter speed you can get is 1/15 or 1/30
and you're scratching your head until you realized you gave up 
2 stops.
