No. Why must we make excuses for this? Because it is Leica? As an artist I object to this in the image. I think it looks terrible and completely detracts from the photo.

But it's no big deal other than when you run into plain backgrounds as you have in yours. But the vignetting isn't objectionable, just kind of adds a framing factor to the image. And take that filter and throw it away, all it'll do is screw-up your images. You don't need any filters on a Noctilux, I guess you weren't told it's against the law and you could be arrested for putting a filter on the worlds most remarkable lens for night light and no light? :) Well not quite but wait a bit for further comments on the filter. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
