Just look at Grahams work with the Noctilux using color film.
I do not believe that he could do better with any other lens.

I am familiar with some of his scenes, and the pics are real!

My only objection to that lens, (not his work) is that it is not
a 35mm focal length. For me the 50 is the least used lens. As
proven by my ophthalmologist, my eyes see like a 35mm lens.
YRMV.
