In this Noctilux f/1.0 image, we can see just how shallow the depth of field is at f/1.0 – indeed, the in-focus portion lies within a very narrow band.

Recognize this moment.
Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summicron f/2, PortraitBy the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on….
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever…
And I will pay no mind
When it won’t, and it won’t, because it can’t
It just can’t
It’s not supposed to

Leica Boutique and my Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.4 write-up!
Teaching point, Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 NoktonEver since I wrote a piece about the Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.4 back in July, it’s become one of my more popular posts.
It’s no wonder, since this little gem of a lens has always been underrated but is increasingly gaining its share of admirers as people explore the various mirrorless camera platforms (as well as classic rangefinder photography, of course).
One of those admirers of the little Nokton 40 is my friend Jean Bardaji, the distinguished owner of Leica Boutique in Montreal, Canada. Jean is very knowledgeable and passionate about photography and has long appreciated the little Nokton Classic MC 40/1.4.
So, when Jean recently decided to link to my write-up on the Leica Boutique Voigtländer page of his website (click into Voigtlander Nokton Classic MC F1.4/40mm), I was quite honoured.
Jean has actually sold me two copies of this lens, as I have always found his prices on Voigtländer (and Zeiss) lenses to be the most competitive in the market. More than that, his service has always been exceptional.
So I wish to thank Jean, for all of his help and would not hesitate to recommend the services of Leica Boutique to anyone looking for this lens (or any other).

This is the second image posted today that was taken with the Leica 35mm Summarit – a lens that would not typically be considered as an ideal option for low light portraiture, but I find it quite versatile.
