Subject: [Leica] Noctilux add-on focus ring

Steve,
Your findings are correct; the 75 lux is harder to focus up close than
any other Leica lens.  The next closest is the 135 F2.8.

I find an M3 with the 1.25 to be very useful when shooting the 75 wide
open at 1 meter.

Rei... I wanted to check this out with 
you and others... I recently found the 
lux 75mm at 1.4 harder to focus close up 
accurately than the Noctilux at f1... 
both of course in very limited 
light...my recollection is, that this is 
to be expected based on the dof...

is this correct? You find the same? 
thanks,   Steve
