It has been a while since I took out the Leica Noctilux for field shooting, but I was reminded how unique its pictography is, and that being the reason to own it even if one also has the Summilux or APO-Summicron.

I’ll be presenting a variety of aperture series and examples with the Noctilux over the next few weeks. These images shot in early morning before the sun had penetrated the canyon. [Brightness and color balance might be off, my laptop is not so favorable for evaluation].
