I love this shot. Wich Noctilux did you use?
Thank you. It’s with the first version f1 Noctilux, the one that takes e58 filters and the 12519 hood. Sometimes the soft-sharp appearance and out of focus rendering are just perfect. Often, the out-of-focus rendering in particular, is not. I haven’t used mine much since it came back from Leica focusing ok but with the infinity setting way off - this happened when they fixed a worn out focusing helicoid.

You can get a look like this very much more consistently with the 75 Summilux or the 80 Summilux-R, but the f1 Noctilux has a way of providing really good shadow contrast on film even when it is not exposed at less than ISO speeds that the longer Summiluxes do not have. On digital you can adjust to taste.
