I haven't had as much need for it lately, but I still love the narrow depth of field and I think that's what's interesting in Chris's bicycle photo. There's nothing like 1.0 to really narrow your concentration!! Tina PS: The only way I can focus the Noctilux is to move myself, very gradually, and not try to move the focusing ring.
