Nice images although the focus seems to be a bit off, the images seem soft
(could be the scanner?).  I guess you were at around f2.8 or smaller
aperture from the missing vignetting in the corners which always appears at
f/1 in bright images.  It is a great lens though and it would be good to see
some really low light images.  Of course, eating carrots and seeing in the
dark helps, especially when it is dark enough to be at f/1, 1/15sec with
1600 speed film loaded.

Nice to see some Noctilux images posted - keep using the lens!
