	From "Leica lens Practice" by Dennis Laney, Hove Foto Books, 1985:

	SUMMILUX and NOCTILUX lenses are corrected for maximum contrast, which 
	is the most important factor for their intended use in poor light.
	This must be done at the expense of resolution.  Although resolution
	and contrast do improve on stopping down, these lenses will not be
	so good as a SUMMICRON or ELMARIT for critical purposes, although
	normally the differences would not be noticed.
