Hi Steve, A touching moment indeed! An excellent use of the Noctilux @ f 1.0 adding concentration to the child. But then when one is a master of f 1.0, it becomes a magical tool for many images creating greater impact and effects of isolation. The eyes when viewing a photograph aren't going to be wandering all over the place as in "f8.0 and be there" type of photos. I realize some folks don't like the Noctilux wide open, but when one knows how to use it for proper effect of focus point and not just for "available darkness" shooting, it's a very impressive lens. It's a magical tool if one makes it work in creating interesting images.
