At last year's Photokina, there was a special meeting for a group of LUGgers with Leica management. As far as I recall, the Leica people said that there are no plans to update the Noctilux. It is a very good lens. As I have never had the 1.4/35mm, I cannot compare the two, but I find it highly unlikely that the Noctilux would beat any other modern Leica lens at 1.4 and smaller apertures. That is not what one buys it for.
