Yes the Noctilux is great, but for sheer image quality the 100 apo macro on
the R, for stunning results from ordinary subjects the super elmar 15mm, for
images on kodachrome you cannot get any other way the Noctilux and for all
round fun and quality to boot the 35 asph M
 
Cheers

Dear LUGers: 

I was thinking about the recent thread on MTF curves etc., when I began
wondering which lens out the Leica M lenses that I own never ceases to amaze
me with it's real world performance .  I don't care about it's MTF curve or
who has said what about it.  Which lens dazzles you?  I would have to say
for me it is the 75mm f1.4 Summilux.  Mind you all current Leica M lenses
are amazing but this one always puts a grin on my face. I have just received
a 90mm APO but have not used it as yet and maybe this will knock the king
off his throne.  I would be interested in how other LUGers feel.

The Noctilux.  There's nothing like it.  I like to take pictures in the
dark!
