And isn't the logical conclusion here that the only thing to which Noctilux performance should be compared is to another f1 or faster lens, designed not as a general use lense - even though there are those in LUGland who use it as such - but designed for use in extremely low light conditions. The point is not that the Noctilux does or does not perform like a summicron, but that it performs at all!
