Serious question. > > Larry Z ----------------------------------------------- Hi Larry, I could embark on a convoluted rationale as to why I shoot a Noctilux in broad daylight but the truth is much more straight forward :-). I don't use use it for its 'signature' look, if indeed it even has one beyond the distinctive bokeh which, incidentally, I like but because it cost me ?1000 and I need to get something from it by way of justification for the outlay. I saw one and I lusted after it. It really is that simple. --Graham
