Then there's always the Hexar RF, which buys you two more stops (to 1/4000s); but it means giving up some focusing accuracy (shorter EBL), which could hurt your at 1 meter and f1.

[ray tai] Has anyone compared images from the Noctilux vs. the Summilux at f1.4? Does the Lux produce that same creamy bokeh? If so, and if the Noct's aperture ring stays pretty much glued to f1.4, why not shoot with the smaller lens? Dan
