If ever there was a simple 50mm lens that can make your work look completely different from anyone elses, it is the Noctilux! Enjoy my friend, it'll become a constant companion and you'll find yourself shooting under light conditions that motivate you, that previously you either past by or had to light. Now it's Nocti magic light time! :) Great shooting with wonderful new images. ted
