We played with the Nokton 10.5mm f/0.95 prime on the GH4 with these results:

Trying for good diffraction, nice sparkles and useful exposures with a manual focus and manual exposure Voigtlander Nokton lens. Focus peaking and zebra striping of a modern mirrorless camera (GH4) really helps!! Click on photos to get a full size version to see the sparkles….

I’ve learned that fresh snow is important to show sparkles on a moonlit night. Snow that has been around for a while has very small sparkles (due to sublimation and/or melting of individual crystals, methinks) which do not show up well in a night photograph. In the above photo, the camera operator did not stabilize the camera properly for the 2 second exposure, resulting in a very blurry incompetent photograph!
