Canon have this 24/1.4 lens don't they? I had thought that might be a target to reproduce, or better! But the 35 Noctilux sounds like a humdinger of a lens! I've no idea whether it's feasible, it would be hard to make the rear element of an old style 35/1.4 any bigger in the mount, but maybe it's only the front that needs enlarging? Here, very obviously, is a lens design novice speaking! Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Dan Cardish [SMTP:dcardish@microtec.net] A 35mm Noctilux.....this is a lens that would be fantastic. I wonder is such a lens is feasable? Dan C.
