Joe,

With all respect I think your point is moot and question will go unanswered.
Anyone saying that they own a Noctilux and only use it in the middle
apertures will appear an idiot.  Think about it.  While you may have taken a
stab at making me look foolish for my response, I find your response at
least that.

I hear this remark about the Noctilux occasionally. Just out of curiosity-
is there anyone reading this who uses a Noctilux who never uses f1.0 and
typically shoots in the middle apertures?
