Big Congrats On The Newly Acquired Noct Charles! Great Set!Last week, I received last my 50 Nocti f 1.0 IV, specifically for portraits, weight and ergonomics is slightly smaller and lighter, than the 0.95. To my surprise the lens was in perfect calibration for a 16 year old lens
Some shots this weekend with the 50 Nocti f 1.0 IV

Chris, The 75 Lux Is So Noct Like! Really Nice!Since dinner in this household becomes a verbal jousting match, here's a bleach bypass version of a philosophy major (OK, double honors in math and physics with philosophy as a third major) conceding a point:
and the unspoken winner of all debates (since she has the sense to keep her mouth shut):
Both with M9 and Summilux 75.

More photos soon indeed! Charles, did the couple notice you after you took the photo? Great job getting that decisive moment!
Steve, I really like the feel I get from the photos you post. Must be the high contrast BW!

Lots of photos to post... I guess I'll split it up into two. The first is a little more of the standard Hatrick stuff.
We went downtown today, I wanted to take her to the Toronto Islands to ride tandem bikes (those things are so cool)! Though, the weather wasn't the best, and there was no one out at the islands, so we just walked around Harbour Front instead. I also got to talk to my... I guess friend... Stan, from Downtown Camera. I believe he's a manager there, though his department is used equipment. We chatted about gear (he sold a Rolleiflex for a low price of $595... I teased him, telling him that he should've charged a little more), he asked me about school ("where's the bow-tie, architects need bow-ties"), it was nice catching up with him. We grabbed lunch at St. Lawrence Market, a cute little indoor market with a little bit of everything from everywhere around the world.

Now for post number two...
I met stranger number 5 today, here's the blurb I wrote for him on my flickr:
"Sam is a jeweler in Toronto working out of a shop in St. Lawrence Market. He came from Iraq, but he didn't say much else about himself, but was rather curious about me. He asked me what my job was, then where I went to school and what I was studying when I told him I didn't have one. He asked me to send him the photos I took of him. He didn't have an email address, but he asked his wife to give me hers. A simple man, making a living with a hobby he enjoys, happily married to a beautiful woman; very admirable!"
He was a really nice man... I wouldn't have minded listening to his life story. Though it seems like a little language barrier stood in our way.
I also saw a news report/interview being filmed... here's the blurb I wrote:
"It's kinda strange seeing reporters and interviewees talking into the camera. Such fake expression and enthusiasm directed to a camera man that doesn't care about anything other than getting a good angle. I don't think I'd ever be able to do that. I also never considered how weird it is that people on TV act like they're talking to you. "
And finally...
"I wish I knew a little more about this woman. I saw her sitting on top of a warm sewer grate. She gave me a small smile so I took her photo. When I stooped down to talk to her, she gave me a big smile, revealing her empty gums, and made a small sound, then nodded at me. I assumed that she couldn't speak... or at least didn't know english. "
I wonder if I'll be able to continue doing this after Hillary's gone. I don't have the guts to talk to strangers when I'm by myself... and Hillary unknowingly gives me confidence and motivation to do these things. I'm also almost certain that none of my other friends would want to sit there with me talking to strangers... I think I'm gonna miss her lots when she's gone.
