Except....And I don't own a Noctilux - any benefit produced by these new
films when used with a 1.4 lens is only magnified when used with a
Noctilux....For instance...being able to shoot with the 1.4 at 1/30th in
very little light means that using the Noc, you can shoot at 1/60th, which
means sharper pics presumably....Not that I'm rushing out to buy one....But
I can certainly see the point of owning one if one does a lot of low light
photography professionally - or is an amature to whom money has relatively
little meaning...:-)
