The slides convinced me that this is a lens for me. I am struggling a bit right now with the decision as to whether to keep my other 50mm lens, the 1.4 Summilux. I do find the 50mm focal length useful, and I originally bought the Summilux as a compromise between the optical quality of the Summicron and the speed of the Noctilux. Now that I have the real thing, I am not sure it makes sense to keep two 50mm lenses. I guess I will have to shoot a bit with the Noctilux at more normal apertures and see how I like the results.
