 of results will I get from the Noctilux when stopped down to f2.0? Will it
 be close to what I get with my Summicron?  >>

Phil, I do not recommend that Noctilux as your only 50 mm lens.  It is a
wonderful lens for certain situations, but not for all situations.  No matter
what aperture, it never has the sharpness of the Summicron.  It is also quite
large and heavy.
