[Leica] Noctilux

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

You really do not seem to read your emails Mark. Sue is not selling 
anything, she had her M9 and f1.0 Noctilux stolen and is lining up the 
insurance replacement.

I would probably go for the f0.95 Sue, if you do not like it as much as the 
f1 then you can go on Marks hate list and sell it. Personally I like the 
longer focus throw (f1 Noctilux, 75mm Summilux) on fast lenses as focussing 
is more precise than the newer asph (50mm Summilux, 75mm Summicron) IMO.

Its really an academic point isn't it!?
But to some most of photography is in the same category.
The part when you're image making. Not that part where you're buying and
selling lenses and bodies as if they're baseball cards.
