I think you're wrong. Order the Nokton. You won't regret it.

This from a long time ago, with my memory that is about a week, but I
thought it went:

1.0~whole stop
1.1~ -1/3
1.2~ -1/2
1.3~ -2/3
1.4~ whole stop
1.5~ -1/3
1.7~ -1/2
1.8~ -2/3
2.0~ whole stop
etc

Please correct me if I am wrong and I will order the Nokton today.
