I would say the noctilux is a great lens if you need the fastest available, but if you don't need F1, you can save a ton o money and improve you pictures too! - -----Original Message----- From: Rick Floyd [mailto:rick_floyd@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 1999 11:36 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Lens Tests Peter wrote: <<Summicron users will be expecially pleased, while Noctilux users may look to their nearest liquor cabinet.>> Actually Peter, if you think about the data, the Noctilux tested to be the best f1.0 lens. In addition, since the "tests" were conducted wide open, you could say the Notilux scored higher at f1.0 than any other lens tested ever. Other than that, the data is pretty useless... Rick
