I regret selling the Noctilux as well (but not until I had the M8).
On the M6 it never focused close enough for my working style.
On the M8 it would be perfect. Oh well.

The only other piece that I regret to this day
A mint Linhof Technica V
(I ended up replacing it with a real user IV - works fine - yet,  
doesn't have the "gem" factor - which is ok)
(most others the regret faded over time -
although the mint 300mm Gold Dot Dagor still hurts a bit)

Having a really hard time justifying the selling of:
8x10 Deardorf
Hasselblad 500cm kit
even thought they've seen no use what so ever for years
they just so perfectly do what they were designed to do
and I maintain the fantasy of resurrecting the darkroom

sold the 20D yesterday - bye bye - no regret
except
the 10-22 was on it - that feels like I lost something I may yet regret

Fond regards,
George
