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.

This for me is how fast lenses should be used. Super capture!

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

Leica M7 50 1.0 Noctilux @ 1.0 B+W ND filter on Ektapress 160

I like the pictures very much, wonderful nature shots with great DOF, but on my screen they look very cold/blue?

@dovevadar
thanks 🙂

Thanks Johnny.

Dierk, the reason for the strange colour is out-of-date film 🙄. 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?
