Subject: [Leica] Noctilux - shooting wide open

Can anyone opine of the comparative edge to edge quality and sharpness of
low natural light photos taken with a Canadian made Noctilux at f1.0 and a
50mm Summilux at f1.4 using the same type of film in the same lighting
conditions.

Where the natural lighting allows for the use of apertures at and above f1.4
would there be any discernable differences between two photos, one with the
Noctilux and one with the Summilux,  using the same aperture, shutter speed,
and type of film?
