Thanks

Yes, there are a couple of shots online taken by Seal, the singer. Just google.

oh my, that last shot with the nocti is making me drool.. Such a dream like look with almost surgical precision in some parts of the image... Can't wait to see some real shot taken with it.

Well, cool, thanks. Looks like Leica killed everything the old Noct was about (curvature, aberration, the bokeh thing...). Just like any other fast lens these days. Except 10 times the price.

I was sort of thinking the same thing - I'm sure that the new lens is technically better, but they have corrected away all of the idiosyncrasies that made this particular lens so unique.

Is it possible the vignyetting has been 'fixed' by the software and cropped sensor, and it will vingette on a film camera?

I love the old Noctilux, I like this too. Very different character.
