The answer is ---- it depends! I wear glasses and and can see the 50 
lines. My wife also says she can see them OK. If your eyes are set 
deeper in your head or your glass sit farther away from your face you 
may not be able to.

I like the M3 DR Summicron combination and the higher magnification 
makes it very nice for the Noctilux.
