The 75mm Summilux is simply my brilliant medium tele lens, used at all apertures and in all situations. The f1.4 maximum aperture is used when the situation calls for it, but was not my exclusive reason for buying this lens. The Noctilux, on the other hand, is my special lens for low light shooting and is hardly ever used at apertures smaller than f2. It is an extremely difficult and idiosyncratic lens but the results are magic when it works. I do not at all view these two lenses as substitutes for each other.
