the need for speed
there is no substitute for the Noctilux and, frankly, i prefer the look of the f/1 to the new aspheric. it is still very high up there on my lust list (but, yeah, can't afford it either).
the closest i've personally come to it is with the Zeiss C-Sonnar 50/1.5 wide open. there is a creaminess and a dreaminess to it that is exquisite and it also has the ability to draw in big chunks of charcoal and chalk as can be had on the Nocti. obviously, because of the speed, the OOF are not as distinctive, but there is still a painterly draw.
