Hard question to answer. I have both lenses and love them both dearly, but
for completely different reasons and uses.

For the love of taking photography, the Noctilux is an unparalleled piece of
artistic equipment. 

So I would say take that

If someone were to give you a free lens and the choice was between the
21mm Elmarit-M or the 50mm Noctilux, which would you choose and why?

Not that I am given this choice, but I was just curious as to what is
more important to the average LUG member, wide angle coverage or the
ability to take pictures in the dark.
