And when you're talking about the use of the Noctliux for it's intended purpose - shooting in places and under conditions where it's the only way to get the shot, I agree with you. :-) B.

In those situations I do not find unsharp elements in the foreground distracting; but in a landscape shot, as we have here, I did. But, as this exchange shows, different people respond to a given image in different ways, and that makes life more interesting. Nathan "B. D.
