From a real amateur.  Took "Ted's advice" some time back, purchased 
the Noctilux.  Love it.  Shoot indoors available light whenever I can.  
The lens has a quality that is, indeed "3D"like.  Truly interesting 
and unique.  Is it worth the money?  Who can possibly answer such a 
question.  If you like photography, and can try to scrape up the sums, 
believe you would be happy using the lens.  I do not find it 
cumbersome to use, or carry.  To use or not use a Noctilux is such an 
individual decision that it is impossible to be dogmatic and overly 
opinionated one way or the other.  Taken with the 35 asph and the 
summicron 90 I have what I need most of the time.  BTW Ted, have been 
using the 19 on the R8...will give you more feed back soon.
