Hope to see some of your .95 Noctilux shots in the 2013 yearbook!

Best,
Jim

I'm going to wait for the 0.95. From the user reviews I've read, it sounds 
like the focus throw is not quite as long on the 0.95, which is something I 
think I'd appreciate. 
 
Really, though, the bottom line for me is that never in my lifetime would I 
be able to buy an $11,000 lens. The F1 and 0.95 have different looks, but I 
think both are lovely and if my kid needed a kidney I could get closer to 
meeting the co-pay selling an F.95 than an F1.
