RE: [Leica] Noctilux-M v. Summilux-R

Seth,
Some of my flower a day images two years ago were shot with a Nikon 50mm
F1.2 CRT lens at 1.2 using a set up much like I described.  The focusing
really wasn't too bad at 1.2 on an SLR.  I think I will use a similar
set up using a variety of 50mm lenses this coming year.

I will be fascinated to see the images that result. My understanding is
that
the Noctilux, for obvious reasons,  is not corrected for close-up
imagery.
Doesn't mean it can't be tried. It may produce very interesting results.
And
if you think the depth of field is shallow at normal "available
darkness"
range, wait till you see how razor-thin it will be at a few inches.
