Feli,
I use the 75 Summilux with either a 0.72 Classic and the 1.25 maginifier
or an M3 (equivalent to the 0.85 mag close enough).

As you know the 75 has less DOF at 1.4 than the Noct at F1.

Out of curiosity, what magnification do Noct users shoot with?
Ted? Tina? Anyone? An M3 or .85 M6/M7/MP would be perfect, but how about
a .72? I don't wear glass and have 20/20 vision.

Lately I have been doing a lot of shooting at extremely low light levels
and I'm starting to think it's time to get a lens faster than f2 (I'm
Summicron across the board 35/50/90). I've seen a few used Noctilux
going for the price of a new Summilux, so it's in the running.

So, does anyone shoot this puppy with a .72 or perhaps a .72 with the
magnifier?


Thanks,

feli
