[Leica] Joe and the Nocti

[Gary Elshaw <gary.elshaw@vuw.ac.nz>]

Hey Joseph,

I don't know whether the Nocti can justify its price (i've never even 
seen one), but i think Alistair's photo here shows what it can do 
with low light 
http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/images02/html2/page06.html

nice tones, subtle chiaroscuro, nice contrast etc.

Or did i get the wrong end of the stick? My caffeine intake hasn't 
been what it should be today..

Take care,
Gary
