My understanding is that the Noctilux, for obvious reasons, is not corrected for close-up imagery. Doesn't mean it can't be tried. It may produce very interesting results. And if you think the depth of field is shallow at normal "available darkness" range, wait till you see how razor-thin it will be at a few inches.

I haven't done the math but I suspect the additional body thickness of the R plus the thickness of the viso-to-R adapter would give the Noct a maximum focus on the R body much closer than 12". > > > Doug Herr > Birdman of Sacramento > http://www.wildlightphoto.com > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
