just to keep things in perspective for those who have actually never
handled the noctilux before, and for those who imagine that the noctilux
is of the weight and dimensions of the mount palomar 'scope, please keep 
these facts in mind:

1) the noctilux is only 12 oz heavier than the summilux
2) the M6 + noctilux weighs only 2.7 oz more than 
   nikon f100 + f1.4/50 + 4xAA

i have been using the noct as my normal lens for over a year with
no regrets (and no back problems!)
