About three to four years ago one of our members (Rei Shinozuko) posted a series of quiet wonderful images using a Noctilux wide open outdoors. I don't like some of the backgrounds that the Noctilux creates but want to use a similar technique with 1.4 lenses. I appreciate the comments and it is all about the right tool for the right objective. Using one of your designs in Atlanta traffic would be very amusing. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 11/2/05, Frank Dernie <Frank.Dernie@btinternet.com> wrote: > > Ahhhh!
