On this link you have all Technical Data in a pdf and some images in DNG to 
donwload, on every image is indicated the f stop it was shoot, but the 
indicated f Stop is not the same you can find on the EXIF when you donwload 
the images.

This is the link
<https://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/M-Lenses/Noctilux-M-50-f-1.2-ASPH/Technical-Insights>

I?ve upload a crop of one of the images, remark that the EXIF of this image 
indicates it was shooot at f 4 instead of f 2.8 as it is indicated in the 
Leica announce.

PLEASE LOOK AT THEM LARGE
