<< And isn't the logical conclusion here that the only thing to which

 who use it as such - but designed for use in extremely low light conditions.

No one in this thread has been talking about comparing any other lens to a
Noctilux.  The discussions about lens comparisons have been about the current
Summilux 50 to the new (R) Summilux 50.  Of course you are correct that a 1.0
lens should not be compared to a 1.4 lens.  (However, I already have the
Noctilux and want to add a Summilux).
