It’s about time that this thread is opened….
I realize not many folks have it, and it seems that even fewer use theirs….but those who do, please do share you work with it…if not, I hope some of these can make you use your Noct’s more often.
I have to admit I’m using the Sigma 50 F1.4 90% of the time and I still see it as the closest thing to a Noct ( there’s a thread I started about it buried somewhere..) but….this MF lense, hard to master and to nail focus at F1.2….is still the bokeh and low-light perfect lense. Couple it with a D700 / D3 and it will leave any low-light shooter in heaven.
Try to post preferably F1.2 shots ( all of those below were wide-open, with D300 and D700 more recently)
UPDATE : since this thread has grown over 50 pages, browsing to check all the photos can be a pain....so for those who want to check a few of them in one place, i've linked my own gallery at Pbase were you can see all the photos i posted on this very thread.
