[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Some weeks ago I complained that I screwed up during a wedding shot and two rolls ended up being empty. I did not send the M6 for repair but followed Ted's advice in folding the films and take a little bit more time making sure things are in order. I haven't had any problems since. Thanks for all the e-mails! A week ago I had to use a flash at a wedding because the Noctilux and Tmax400 pushed to 800 was just not enough. Saturday I was able to use the Noctilux and Tmax400 without a flash. In the evening Katariina developed the films and after she made the first prints she said that there is magic in those un-flashed pictures and I should never use flash again. Because the wedding was at 10:30AM we had a lot of window lights at the reception which added to the magic. Ken, I never regret that I bought the Noctilux years ago and you won't either. Be aware, it requires practice, practice, and more practice to shot wide open, although I occasionally step down to 2.0 or 2.8 if I need more DOF. Best Regards Jörg
