Can you provide a comparison of the Noctilux, Summilux and Nokton?  Granted
the Noctilux is a 50mm and the others 35mm, but for those of us
contemplating a faster lens, and must choose one, I'm interested in what you
(and others on the LUG) have to say.  Also, any comments on the pre-ASPH
35mm Summilux would be most appreciated.
