1 is the magic number – PORTFOLIO http://portfoliography.com a different point of view Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:43:36 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 1 is the magic number http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2009/12/28/the-magic-of-the-leica-noctilux-f1/ Tue, 29 Dec 2009 06:44:32 +0000 Will Wiriawan http://portfoliography.com/?p=3002 I came *THIS* close to purchasing an old Canon F f/1.0 sometime ago; the bulk and the price tag scared me away. But now I know why I was *THAT* close.

It was Dr. Walter Mandler who started this all; He crafted more than 45 high performance lenses for Leica, including the one used to capture the image above — later replaced by the faster f/0.95 ASPH in 2008.
