Except this time they won't be hand-grinding aspherical elements,


no need to do that anymore. lens technology has advanced a *lot* since
the 1970s.

also, an f/1.2 lens isn't needed because digital cameras can shoot at
much higher isos than what existed in the 1970s. iso 1600 is not an
issue and 3200 is quite good. an f/2 or even f/2.8 lens is fine for low
light.


Once more you prove your superior knowledge of photography.


yep.

in many
images shallow DOF is used to enhance the image.


it's razor thin at f/1.2 and was not the goal of the noct nikkor.

low light was, thus the name *noct* nikkor, not shallow-dof nikkor.

But then, since we have
never seen a photographic image claimed by you to be yours, we validly
assume you only take snapshots, if any at all.


ad hominem.
