D. >> B.D. - I love my Noctilux and you will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands! Do you see nausea bokeh or boredom in content of these Noctilux photos? (actually, boredom in the content would hardly be the fault of the lens!) http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Honduras/maria.htm http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Honduras/weldi.htm http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Honduras/ordinand.htm http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Honduras/amilcar.htm http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-29684.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-51157.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-51159.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60370.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60372.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60387.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60410.html And many, many more! They are all made with the Noctilux and could not have been made with any other lens! I am not a Leica do-or-die fan and hate their current association with fancy name-brand purses and scarves, but they made a killer of a low-light lens that nobody else has even begun to equal. When it comes to taking photos in the dark, nothing else comes close to a Noctilux. I would never use it stopped down in broad daylight, but that is not its purpose. If you can see the bokeh, you should not be using the Noctilux!!
