Marc, the Noctilux f/1 with separate lens hood is not so uncommon (at lea=

here in Belgium). Between 1100 $ and 1800$. I'm almost sure that Leitz an=

I agree with you that the 50/1,2 is much rarer but in the last Cornwall
Catalogue there are 4 of them , 3 in "A" and 1 in "A/B" (If I remember we=
ll
because I forgot the book at my office)
Starting  price 3.000 DM. I think that they will go for +6.000 DM (3.000 =
$)
(I don't own one myself.)
