Attention lux lovers: This comparison of the 50mm f1 lens with a 35mm f1.4
lens does not make much sense. If a f1.4 lens meets most of the users'
requirements  why not compare the 50mm f1 Noctilux with the 50mm f1.4
Summilux? Indeed very little is said about the 50mm Summilux even by Erwin,
our venerable optical expert. Perhaps it is because the Summilux is a
decades old design.
Many of us would welcome a comparative discussion of the 50mm Noctilux vs.
the Summilux. If at the same aperure(say, f1.4 and f2) the Noctilux is
superior in performance to the Summilux that could stimulate Solms to
produce a modern asph 50mm f1.4 Summilux-M.
