The Nokton only focuses to 0.9 meter while the Summicron and Summilux 
focus to 0.7 meter. It doesn't sound like a big deal but I am always 
having to back up with my Noctilux which focuses to 1.0 meter. That 
rules out the Nokton for me.

I tried the Summilux at LHSA spring shoot and I am getting the chromes 
E-6-ed today. I am not hopeful as the Summilux is supposed to be a 
little flare prone. I wish the Noctilux focused to 0.7 meter!! A 
stunning lens other than that.
