I suspect for church photography I would go with another lens than the Noctilux; possibly a 35 1.4 or faster, the new 50 ASPH, the 75 ASPH, or possibly the C/V Nokton. Any loss of speed going from F1 to 1.4 can be made up by using a higher EI on the M8 by whatever means. Candles may be an issue but with a known problem you could frame them out of most images. Worst case, wait until February and the IR filter. Don don.dory@gmail.com On 1/7/07, Brian Reid <reid@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> wrote: > > > > Last, to pull a Ted; geesh guys, get a life.
