Johnathan:

Believe it or not, but the Noctilux has better MTf numbers than the much
newer Canon lens.  The Canon lens is also twice the size.  The othe
manufactures high speed lens have always been a bit soft wide open.  The
sharpness and good contrast of the Noctilux is what sets it apart.  If
Anthony thought his F5 was heavy, he should try an EOS !n and booster with
a F1 lens.

Regards,

Robert
