A very delicious combination, I think. I certainly hear you on the limited DoF at 1.4. Very much the same issue for me with the 50 (and a reason that I am never likely to be able to drive the Noct!) Once again, beautifully atmospheric pictures that you have shown.

The focusing fault is mine - trying to focus in low light. I should have rocked a quarter of an inch back ;-). 1.4 is not much more forgiving than 1.0! Thanks!
