This NOCTILUX babblefest has been most interesting simply because when I 
read all the reasons, comparisons for buying and what appears a smashing 
lens, apertures etc it boggles my mind!
Lets see?
I bought my first LEICA because everytime I read about the seemingly "greats 
of  photographic world! they used LEICA?"

ERGO? As time moved along and I found working with three M cameras and three 
R cameras of whatever models and lenses, I replaced them with the new 
versions!

Along came the NOCTILUX! :-) WOWIEEEEEEEEEEE! HOT DAMN f 1.0! Gotta have 
that! WHY? Well hell if yer a LEICA SHOOTER you've got to have the best of 
the fastest best!

Now don't get all yer pants on fire quite simply nobody in their right mind 
all those years ago ever went through all the gobbely gook many of you guys 
do! Testing and all that time wasting time?  CRAP? WHY?

Well hell we just went out, shot the assignments we were being paid for and 
came home with drop dead LEICA QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHS! Dang so simple, logical 
and most effective!

TODAY????????????????????

Must have been my last look on the screen about 20 posts proving absolutely 
nothing whatsoever about the? READY?

THE QUALITY OF THE CONTENT????????????

ONCE AGAIN POINTING OUT HOW MANY ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIDILY BITS 
INSTEAD OF THE magnificent bits??????"   THE CONTENT OF THE IMAGE!

So big deal some of you get all piddly-assed whether 1.0 or .95 or what ever 
the hell it is???? What 99.9% of you not making your living from photography 
miss? ..... The folks paying yer bill do not give a flying hoop whether you 
use whatever lens you shoot with....... BUT THEY SURE AS HELL ARE CONCERNED 
WITH THE 'content of your images!" There's a message right there! Read it 
again!

Save yer breath folks and spend more time capturing beautiful images than 
all this babblyfest meaningless garbage about whatever Noctilux yer babbling 
about!?

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MANY MANY MORE YEARS! :-) :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted
