When I first got the Noctilux I was told to remove the lens cap very slowly
or it could suck all the light out of the room. I thought I would be safe
outdoors but I removed the lens cap in one go and it not only sucked all of
the light out of a sizeable chunk of the sky it damn near sucked me in with
it. Fortunately (all things are relative) the rewind crank went up my left
nostril and slowed me down enough for me to regain my footing.

On the bright side, no pun intended, it left a really dramatic sky :-)
