I'm sorry but I don't own either the Noct of 75 S'lux for my Leica's though I agree, it would be an interesting comparison. I would like to make some sort of a valid test and, since I'm not familiar with the requirements, how does this sound?: I point the camera, with a roll of Neopan 1600 in it, on its back, straight up to the sky and take a number of frames in succession @ 12/secs w/ the 50 and 7 secs. with the 85. I develop the film in a scrubby, D76 type developer for a 4x push. My camera does have some sort of mirror-up custom function, so that'll be good. What else do I need to do? I remember something about shooting away from the polar extremes as that is where the sky spins fastest? Anything else I can do to get useful results? Maybe if a Leica rep reads this, she'll offer us a 75 and a Noct to test against<s>? Regards, Danny Gonzalez
