The vertical alignment was always going out. Had to have a screw drier with me whenever I left the house with it. But I have various winders. And I figured I'd shoot more and go for the percentages. A little more of what I kind of already did anyway. The outcome being I missed my focus wide open or close to it an amazingly .00000000000001 % amount of times. And it turns out to be a product concept which works. The Noctilux. A startling and effective effect wide open. The prints blow up great to 16x20 in the darkroom. Totally usable in the mid day sun stopped down to f16. I wish I had it with me I don't have it yet. Its a reason to be a Leica shooter. As is the new 75.
