[Leica] Wanted: Noctilux

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

Okay, I'm interested. Who else can share experience with this lens?

I'm more interested in performance on M6/7.

Is it a good alternative to the Summilux 35? What are the trade offs?  
Have you used both?

Thanks for comments and thoughts.
