[Leica] Noctilux vs 50mm f/2

["Simon Lamb" <s_lamb@compuserve.com>]

I thoughtI would ask this as a general question although I did raise the
issue in a reply to another message.

I have been told that if I purchase a Noctilux I should keep my 50mm f/2 as
the Noctilux should be regarded as an additional lens rather than a
replacement.  Can anyone tell me the possible rationale behind this point of
view and whether you agree with it or not?

Thanks.

Simon
