If you can get a hold a the Leica large format magazine that featured the 40 years of Leica M photography. you will find an image by Luis Casteneda of green cactus festival costume shot in Spain in bright sunshine. That photo should answer any questions about the image quality of a Noctilux at smaller stops. How did they design a lens to be low contrast wide open and high contrast stopped down?
