George Thanks for your welcome. As for the Noctilux, I know exactly what you mean. I held one, looked through one and was extremely tempted to buy one, but the cost here in the UK is a bit too much for me at the moment (1700 pounds or 2700 US dollars). Plus at f/1 I guess it is great for low light photography but forget about DOF. Simon
