Subject: [Leica] M8 love - Noctilux or Nokton?

I've never tried a Noctilux, but for me is already difficult to do a precise
focusing at 1,4, when I use my Summilux I prefer work at F2 if is possible,
than... Is there any reason to have a Nocti to use it at F2 or F1,4?

Saludos cordiales
Luis

That's a real light-sucking Summicron. Most would need 1/4sec. :-)
