From a recent cruise night, in Somerville, New Jersey. Shot with a Leica Noctilux 50/1.0 and Kodak Portra 400 NC film. Shooting at dusk allows me to get the depth of field and the texture I like from this unique lens. The Noctilux is one of the more controversial lenses in 35 mm photography, at least in the rangefinder world. There are those who despise it's existence, performance and price. Others view it as wonderful tool and exploit the character of this behemoth like lens. Luckily I was able to grab a user version several years ago before the current looniness over this lens occurred.
It's easily one of my favorite lenses....
