Not a bad picture, f1,0. Very well exposed.:thumbup:

From the redlight, it appears that the Noct was stopped down quite a bit. You could have used any other lens for that?

thanks vivek,

you´re right, C1 says it was f 4,0
Have a look at the crop.
You are shure, i can do this with any other 50mm lens, but the Nocti is the only one i own.

Hi,

Congratulations on your acheivement. A nice photograph. I do not own a Noctilux but this does not seem to exhibit the classic look. Not that that is a bd thing of course! I just always half thought that people used these lenses wide open due to the focus shift as you stop down. :D

Congratulations once again.

Hi Gero,

The latest versions of C1 use the guestimate value the M8 records via the blue eye if lens detection is on. I have found it to be very accurate with my coded 35 Summicron ASPH actually.

Fits the name, f 1,0. ;):D

I think C1 is incorrect and it is stopped well below f/4.

Ed, I didn't know that. It be grate if even if you dont have lens detection or even if you dont have the lens coded; you could put in the lens in the exif in c1 and get a guess on all of your pictures.

Your problem is? :confused:

I picked up an aspect (albeit technical) of the photo. Why would anyone label a picture in a web forum? If you do not care whether it is taken with a pinhole or Nocti, fine.

You also seem to know what I own and do not?:confused:

Thanks though!;)

I will check with you if I am looking for any of my gear if I own it or not!:ROTFL:

actually stopped down the noct makes a great all round normal. two lenses for the price of...well....three.:eek:

the picture is drop dead gorgeous, subtle and moving.

Hi Gero,

I do not really change lens so I do not know how the camera behaves without lens detection and a coded lens. It could be that it writes the field in the metadata anyway. I have no idea how accurate it would be though! I would guess not very ...

Ed, I use a lot of different lenses and have found that the IR filter is not very important for me. I do keep a record of the lens that I used in the file when I import them; so it would be very good to make C1 guess the aperture, based on the focal length and camera. Is this posible?
