I never got a shot I didn?t like from my Noct. F1 circa 2001. I still have 
it.
I left in on my camera for a year spurning any other Leica glass. There?s 
nothing you can?t shoot with it. On the lug, we get all those stuff how its 
only good for this or that excuses for getting rid of a lens whose only 
purpose was to tie up some money for an interim period until the money was 
needed
Yes, it?s as great for shots stopped down as it is close in, high noon at 
the salt flats or 0 dark hundred in the coal mine. I missed the focus with 
this lens as often as I did with my Summicron. Around the zero area. After 
its been on your camera that you use every day it?s not heavy. It?s my Leica.
I was never without it.

    Hi Frank, 
    
    There is a learning curve to figure out what looks best with the Nocti, 
distance from camera, busyness of background, light or lack of light...
    
    
    Thanks!

technically much better but not as interesting IMO... Much more contrast in 
the f0.95, notably sharper but it is not as unpredictable ;-) For those that 
find the f1.0 large and heavy, do not even think about the f0.95!
