I suspect you are among those few who own and use both the Leica M 50mm Noctilux, as well as the Canon EOS 50mm f1.0 lens. If I am correct, may I ask what your personal opinion on these two, comparatively speaking ? I often find myself photograpjing at extremely low light levels (recently at f1.4, ISO 1600, 1/15 sec), so a fast lens is always welcome in my camera bag. However, in some sense, the issue is moot for me as in such situations, I prefer the results from digital sensors than any current film. This is why I find a high-quality digital rangefinder camera so appealing. Regardless, I am still curious, and I thank you in advance for your opinion, and await your reply with much esteem and anticipation. - Phong
