Hans Pahlen used to have a couple of wide-open Nokton shots on his site,
and briefly discussed the unusual bokeh of that lens:

It's been a while; I don't know if they're still there.

If you're anywhere near a shop that stocks both Leica and Cosina, why not
see if they'll let you mount each lens on one of your bodies and shoot a
few frames with each?
