[Leica] There is a light that never goes out

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Lluis, I prefer the first one, but I think that that despite the 
Noctilux, low light is too much of a challenge unless you're bringing a 
tripod, as I'd think your shutter speed might be too low for steadiness. 
Still they're very atmospheric, and now that Lorena is your new friend, 
you'll be able to take more shots of her :-)
