Henning,
Canon made a 50mm F1.2 L lens contemporaneous with the first Noctilux.
It had eight elements, a ground aspheric surface, and close range
correction.  Erwin claims it is better than the Noctilux.  We will see
about that.

You have to push _reaL_ hard to get the 50mm f/1 L lens onto an F1 :-).
