closing time Brighton ave - voigtlander HP5 400 Jan to Feb 2011 010

I don't know why I took this shot (apart from having to finish off the last 4 or 5 frames before I processed the roll) but for some reason I really like this shot and particularly how the Nokton 35 1.4 lens has rendered the light - nice low contrast and very dreamy

I know the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.4 isn't the fastest or sharpest Leica mount lens and it can render busy background as rather "nervous" bokeh but then again no other M or LTM mount lens combines _all_ of those features, but it does a very good job of being a great general purpose wide angle lens noting particularly sexy but a good workhorse
I'm hoping against hope the rumoured Sony Nex7 will be full frame or another company announces a full frame M mount (or at least M mount adaptor compatible) - I've seen this lens on a Nex 3 and 5 and it's nice but its FOV becomes the same as a slightly telephoto lens and on 4/3rd cameras even more so).
