[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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
