heinzx; I got my first Noct around 1993, so I'm familiar with it. Found it so difficult, if not impossible - to focus accurately, that I more or less regarded it as unusable. Got a renewed interest for it when I got my M9 2010 - rangefinder system identical w/M6 . . BUT, the opportunity to check the shots immediately made a big difference. The ultimate difference however, showed when I got my first NEX-7 two years ago, with the brilliant peaking function. This changed my shooting so much that after a year I sold the M9. I must admit that I sometimes miss it - the sensor is still the best in the market & I hate the magenta discoloring I get on wide angle shots on NEX & A7r. I'm also doubtful - sometimes - about my exchanging the Noct 1,0 with the 0,95. The latter is a fabulous lens, but every now and then I miss the wonderful bokeh & artistic vignetting of the 1,0. Regards, Odd Geir.

The most impressive thing with you and other Italian photographers in this site, is how you transfrom a long embedded Italian photographic heritage into a "new look" ingeniously adding forms and angles of view that connect the old with the new in a different way. This photo of yours could easily be named "A Hommage to Mario Giacomelli". It really is but it is at the same time a new photograph so different from Giacomelli's "Birds" taken in Rome.
I do like it very much. I do believe it is an excellent photo.

A setting tailor-made for the nocticlux. I love how you framed this and the amount of light you were able to capture on your subject. Really nice shot.
and share it.
