While I own neither the Nocti or the 75, I still think that the 75/1.4 gives you a much more useful focal length/speed. The Noctilux is splendid- but it's main stand-out point is that it's f1!!!! The 75 is a much more usefull lens throughout it's spread. AND it's 1.4!!! B.D.- go for the 75/1.4; Rob Schneider and I met for coffee today and were discussing this same thing. We BOTH thought the 75 to be a more 'functional' beast! glad you're ok!!!!
