As for the f1.0, it is lovely on the MM but I only ever use it wide open. If that is how you use it nothing else comes close, if it is often/usually stopped down then look at a pre-asph Summilux? The MM gives noticeably different looks with pre-asph and asph lenses, both are excellent but in different ways.... john -----Original Message----- Richard, Richard, My question wasn't about the the utility of a trade since I am not using the .95 enough to factor into my current % happiness in number or perceived quality of images. I am just wondering if the dollar value of such a trade would be equitable. Party A has a Nocti 1 and Monochrom they don't use, but would really like to own a barely used Nocti .95. Party B has a Nocti .95 she doesn't care much for but who would like to own and use a Monochrom and Nocti 1.0. Assuming comparable working condition of all the equipment, would the monetary value in such a trade be relatively equal?
