I'm quite astonished on your informations, since Erwin Puts writes on his
site/-s:

"The modern Noctilux 1:1,0/50mm (11821) shows how performance has been
boosted since 1980. It is in all respects a better lens than the famous
Noctilux 1,2/50mm, the one with the two aspherical surfaces and much sought
after by the collectors, who unfortunately hardley ever take pictures." 

And, you can't say, that Erwin Puts might be superficial or risky in his
statements. He confirmed his results in a recent email to me, additionally.
