Noctilux Photos

Very nice tones Vincent! (And, I can't tell if the dog is a statue or not...).

May I ask what aperture you used for this photo? I ask because, although I generally use the Noctilux at f/1, I also like the look of the lens in the f/2-2.8 range. And your shot reminds me of that look.

I find f/1.4 to be a sort of watered-down f/1 look - neither here-nor-there - but f/2-2.8, WOW, smooth look, sharpened up, vignetting is greatly reduced!

Thank you very much! Sorry for the late reply.

I usually shoot at F/1.0 but this photo might have been made at F/2.0 if I remember correctly as I wanted the dog and the Mother Mary's statue to be in focus.
