I love the second one. The top left quadrant of that picture is surreal. What an amazing lens!

All ok, but I have to question the subject (or lack of) isolation. It's as if the Noctilux has to be used wide open, all the time, even for subjects that would actually gain to have more DOF...

i guess its all relative. the whole point of having a nocti, for me, is to able to make ordinary things stick out and be extraordinary. if i wanted more depth of field, i would by a summicron or an elmarit. 😱

FWIW, since it's all relative, don't forget the 90 f2 will give you better isolation and compression.

I like the shot of the towel. Very nice indeed. Too bad that I cannot afford to buy an M8 or a Noctilux.

Ned, this has been my thought on the noctilux. I had a hard time rationalizing the noctilux, largely due to my pocket book, but if I want to isolate the subject a 90mm in 135 or 80mm in medium format seem to do a nice job. That said, backgrounds with the noctilux wide open are unique.
Given your experience with the lens (nice images on your website), under what conditions and for what look do you think it's the best tool? Thanks for any thoughts on this,

Great lens, hard to look at the background. Hard on the eyes.

Mike, the Noctilux is excellent for pictures like the OP posted, no denying (and the towel shot is very nice). I use mine wide open in dim light. Otherwise I shoot it normally and also closed down to f8 when needed. My personal style is Photojournalism involving people. this is where I think this lens shines. Only IMO.

Oh God now I finally see a reason I need to buy one.

Trojan Chuck,
very nice series of shoots. While I really like them all I have to say I find the last pic the most evocative. Beautiful effects here, great shadows, love the lone figure in the left background.
How long have you had a Noct?
I bought mine 8 days ago and it hasn't come off.

The Nocti on my M8 is my favorite combo. The normal/slight tele (on the M8)perspective combined with the ability to isolate the subject are unparalleled. I'd imagine some of these wonderful shots would be impossible without having the room to get a similar field of view.

Ok, ok, all this discussion and Noctilux pornography must stop RIGHT NOW!!! My poor debit card is sitting in my wallet quivering in fear that it'll be unleashed at my local dealer really really soon so that a Noctilux can join the rest of the photographic extravagance at my home.
Have you people no heart? Don't you realise what you're doing to the rest of us? 😱 😱

{to be clear - this is meant as a joke ... we really do want to hear more about the M8/Nocti btw.}
