George,

I use the Noctilux alot , the lens is not an easy lens, it has a longer
learning curve than a f/2 lens, but when you learn how (and when) to use it
wide open you will get very very special pictures. If you read some tests
you will learn that at f/2 the summicron, or for close up shoots,  the
summicron is better,  but it depends on what you want to do.

Good Luck
