She had a very good shot at being one of the guys, albeit a young 
one! We all really do owe her a lot for the painstaking detail work 
and the odd bit of firefighting that went on.

Aw, gee. The feeling is, of course, entirely mutual... :-)

It's funny about the Nocti. I've never had a moment's problem with 
focusing it on my M6 Classic, nor on my M3 (longer nominal 
rangefinder base).

The other thing, as that well known Nocti guru, Ted Grant, has 
observed in the past, is that the Nocti is a fine general purpose 
lens, albeit a heavy one.

Best wishes.
