Sonny,
I like the full frame, uncropped image.  The vignetting is something that
can work to your advantage.  When photographing people in suprt low light,
it isn't obvious, but it helps draw attention to the subject.  Then again,
it's a matter of personal preference.

Last week there was a power failure a couple  nights after  Rita, but
luckily 
it was only a transformer.  I went out  M 6 and Noctilux in hand, and shot a

few frames.  I think it was about  1/15th.  The sun was down, I focused on
the 
wires as I could not see the  man clearly (no chance of viewfinder flare in 
these conditions!)   No  street lights nearby, only the afterglow in the 
western sky, and the flashers on  the two trucks.  This was the only frame
that was 
steady enough to work  with.  The scan was done on a Nikon  5000ed
