My favorite film lens was the Noctilux and the Nocton is the closest I can come to that with the M8. It is easier to focus than the Noctilux. In spite of sending the Noctilux and my M8 to Leica to be matched, I still can't focus it - besides it is now a 65 ;-) The Summilux has its own look, it's quite a bit smaller and I can hold it at slower speeds than the Nocton. For available light with the M8, you can't get any better than these two. Sorry ;-) Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
