M9 and Noctilux does Finnish summer

[Epimetheus]

These are all shot wide open at f/1.0 with M9 and Noctilux:

I need to get a slower lens to stop shooting f1 and all this wide open shallow dof stuff. All I have now is 15mm Heliar and Noctilux, two extremes, since my 35/1.4 Nokton stopped focusing right.

Very nice images.
The Noct is so beautifully soft I can see how you can get addicted to it. I know I would!

Truly lovely shots! As expressed, many seem timeless, and often it would be hard to determine the era they were taken....especially with corner light falloff and destaturated colors.

Wonderful shots.....well I dont blame you for only shooting at f/1.0. I know I would have done exactly the same..

Beautiful images. I really enjoyed the whole series.

Excuse the newbie question but is the vignetting is cause by the M9? I don't recall seeing such sharp fall-off when the Noctilux is used for film shots.

Hi, keep shooting like that, the one with the darts it´s just superb!

I don´t think you´ve exhausted the f1!

Bye!

there are some lenses and their users who use a small f and make me not want to use f1. Then there are users and their lenses who use f1 and makes me want to use f1. Your work is in the latter category, very nice indeed.

Very nice images but I think an excessive use of f1 leads to some images where they don't benefit from f1. Examples are the 2nd one where the brown blurry background gives me a headache and in the canoe-photo I really had to look for the sharp point and found it in the corner where I didn't expect it.
