I love the wedding set

Thank you Johnny. I am absolutely satisfied so far with the performance of the Noctilux. However, if I had one annoyance to point out, it's that it seems much harder to use on my M9, but from what I've read, the nature of a digital sensor makes any misfocus a lot more noticeable.

In any case, here is one more from the wedding, using the MP/Noctilux combo...

Thanks KHC. I was very pleased with the results. Too bad I didn't shoot more fillm that day. I shot more on the D700, to be "safe", but now I'm sort of regretting it.

Thanks for the pics - nice to see the differences. Maybe I'm not looking at it right, or misunderstand what you say, but to me, while Hex does have an enlarged OOF areas, I thin it's transtion is smoother than Noctilux. To me - Noctilux clearly isolates the in-focus area,but Hex gradually goes from out of focus to in-focus and again out-of-focus.
Sorry to for the OT talk here, everybody. :angel:

I think that is variable depending on subject distance and focal length. i.e. the closer you are to subject, the shorter the fall off distance.

I did some portraits with the Noctilux and posted them also in the portrait thread.
As they show the potential of the lens, I feel free to post some of them here as well

Outstanding Dierk! Good job!~
 
Thanks Johnny.

Dierk, the reason for the strange colour is out-of-date film :rolleyes:. While I can adjust to some degree, the colours still end up somewhat funky. Which I like at this moment in time.

sorry if this has been asked and covered before, but for you guys who regularly shoot at f/1.0 and f/0.95 regularly, how do you focus and recompose your shot (if your focal point isn't dead center) on a rangefinder and still have accurate focus?
