Hello Dave, all 1.0 Noctiluxes are the same optically. In my opinion, the 60mm was chosen as standard filter mount, because initially nobody but Leica offered filters in this "odd" size and thus they were able to make some extra profit on filters. However, meanwhile they are also available from B&W, Heliopan and others.
