Nathan, Absolutely correct!

I have the Nokton f1.2 35mm, used it both with film on the M7's and now 
almost the standard M8 lens all the time!  And I'll put it up against any 
Leica of similar size and I'd put money on the Nokton 1.2 35mm would win!

I know that's tough to believe, certainly for we who are bleeding heart 
lovers of LEICA  glass! But this is a one in  a million lens. And if you're 
inclined to work with  two M8's or whatever and you have the f. 1.0 Noctilux 
on the other camera you can shoot in the darkness of Hades if necessary! :-) 
And truly magical moments exposed! :-)

cheers,
ted
