WHICH I LIKE FOR MY SHOOTING OFTEN. YOU SEE ONE OF MY PHOTO MOTTO'S IS? AND I HAVE OFFERED THIS BEFORE! "IF I CAN SEE IT? I CAN SHOOT IT IN NATURAL LIGHT !" SO BIG DEAL, LOTS OF IMAGES ARE SHOT AT F 1.O! YEP AND WHEN YOU START AT F1.0 WIDE OPEN? YOU JUST BLAST AWAY VERY CAREFULLY AND QUICKLY AND A LOOK OF NORMALACY TAKES OVER THE BEAUTY OF YOUR PRINTS! OH SURE YOU HAVE TO BE SMOOTH AT TRIPPING THE SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS. HOWEVER? THE MORE YOU SHOOT AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BETTER YOU BECOME SHOOTING AT SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS WITH HARDLY A THOUGHT. ALSO YOU CAN CAPTURE SO MUCH MORE OF NATURAL LIGHT IMAGES THAT ARE FAR MORE ENHANCING TO YOUR PHOTOS! HEY LUGGITTES HAVE A GO AT IT? YOU MIGHT BE QUITE SURPRISED! OH YES AND SHOOT FROM THE SHADOW SIDE!!!!

Some time ago I?ve tested the Noctilux 0.95, it more perfect but Ilike the certain ?glamour? the F 1 gives, on the other hand, shooting at f 0,95 is not easy.
