I think that it's the picture that is important and that it won't be significantly affected by shutting the lens down of half a stop! If one wants to use the noctilux wide open in every situation, he's got to buy a minolta 9xi and have the lens adapted to it (because of the 1/12000 shutter speed)! or even worse, use some grey filters...I hate this!
