StephenPatterson Posted January 25, 2012 Share #41 Â Posted January 25, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) One more little black leather case to hide from my wife. It's sort of like the shell game. "Hey honey, watch this hand as I magically turn a 35 Summicron into a 35 Summilux!!!" If I can just figure out a way to convince her that a Noctilux is, well anything except a Noctilux I'll have it made. Unfortunately we saw one together in a Hong Kong shop, so she knows what that one is worth. Â It's like the story that is circulating about the Chinese businessman who had a mistress for two years. He bought an apartment for her to live in, gave her an allowance, etc. At the end of the contract the man sold the apartment and made a very handsome profit. Unsure what to do he eventually decided to come clean and tell his wife. The wife's response was, "You fool, why didn't you have TWO mistresses!!!" Â Buying the Noctilux is not the problem...keeping it might be another story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

algrove Posted January 25, 2012 Share #42 Â Posted January 25, 2012 I'll tell you, I got an f1 built-in hood and inside cathedrals (especially Sainte Chapelle) in France it shined. For me the Walter eye piece help get me an incredible (for me) hit rate. I think once or twice I went to 1.2 -2.0 out of 450 shots, but it was beautiful at f1. When I got it tack sharp (and when not tack sharp), I felt it just glowed. I must say I like Mandler lenses, but nothing wrong at all with the current new lenses, especially the new one coming to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I too possess the ability to turn a 50mm Summicron into a 50mm Summilux. I call that kind of alchemy - "Leicamy." Â David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
