The question isn't quality so much of the lens, as what aperture are you going to use. If not 1.0 at least part of the time, don't buy the Noctilux. Just because it's bigger and faster doesn't make it better optically. It has a special character, but not using it wide open makes it an awfully large penalty for carrying and view in the viewfinder with the lens taking up a good part of one corner. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA Zen master to hotdog vendor.
