Wide open on a Noctilux and you come up with one like this right > on the eyes? Man, they don't get much better! Good on you! Hey, thanks! I have to admit, it always feels particularly good to get an attaboy from Dr. Ted. I cannot tell a lie, the Noctilux/M8 combination has been one I've been having a pretty low technically-acceptable-focus hit rate with. A lot of attempts just have to be binned, enough that I usually choose to carry the much more reliably-performing (for me) 50/1.4 ASPH. But every now and then, I seem to feel the need to bang my head against this particular wall and try to get a picture I like with the Noct (which I seemed to get on with better in the film days; this whole question could be the subject of a whole 'nother essay), and I have to admit I liked how this one worked out. -Jeff
