The earlier version had a removable hood; the newer one has a built-in retractable hood. The optical formula is, I believe, the same. I see Nocti's for sale nearly every Friday here on the LUG, and often for less than you submit. Aside: I recently purchased an early version Nocti from Ken Hansen in New York. The serial number denoted a 1981 build date. I was in the store again a couple of weeks afterwards, and he says "Hey, what's the last few digits of the serial on that thing?" So I look and tell him. He rummages around in the cabinet and finds the original box *with the original warranty papers*, and all with matching serial numbers! I was floored. The warranty return envelope was still sealed in plastic. The Nocti *would* be my everyday lens, except that the focus ring takes about twice as many twists to get all the way through the range, so it's just not quick enough for everything. But that dreamy wide-open look is music to my eyes. I say stop fantasizing and go get one!
