Ric:Comparing resuklts between the 50mm f/1 Noctilux and 35mm f/1.2 Nokton wide open, looks like the 50mm f/1 Nocti in image 38-99cent.jpg.html suppressed the possible flare from the light very well. The 35mm f/1.2 Nokton did not do well in image 38-silvermoon.jpg.html - the red flare is pretty apparent in the lower foreground.
Both are good images - well-composed street shots with good color to draw me in, then make me think about what's going on.

We won't talk about the table of tracheostomy patients I sat next to at a hotel happy hour there one night.The Noctilux and Nokton really can record things (handheld) that you cannot see with your eye.
