Ah.... just read this (better late than never I guess).

 

Congratulations, and enjoy learning the lense and its immense potential!

 

Hi all,

 

I am sorry, I have just got back from Singapore. Well, in the end, I did it. I took the nocti plunge after lots of fear and trepidations. But I am glad I did it. What a marvel lens it is.

 

Thank you all very much for your inputs and advices. I really appreciate them. The reason I asked the question to you all is that I just wanted to reaffirm my decision and didn't want to get trapped in the O-it's-a-nocti-so-I-must-have-it mentality. In the end, I find that the lens can really help me achieve more in my photo journey...

 

As a token of appreciation for your time and advices, here's a sharing of some test shots I took...

 

Thanks again..

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks... a little late to help the OP, it appears, but I hope my experiences can help others make their own decisions.

Sorry, nothing special, you can do the same with a 50mm Summilux Asph.

Yes, the photos have a lot of out of focus area-called bokeh. Lol

 

Thanks for looking and for your comment, Mark2. These are just fresh-out-of-oven test shots.
