I have a test wich includes the leica noctilux, the nikkor 1.1 and the 
canon 1.0.
This test shows that the noctilux has the best contrast and the nikkor is 
overall the best. The canon doesn't convince in any way.
Conclusion of this test is that a 1.4 lens is a far better buy compared 
to the 1.0 and its price.
