I have one (the canon) and also the leica one. both are very good. I acutely
use the canon on the d30 to get a 80 f/1.0 now that is a lens. I generally
use this step for portrait and the pictures are very very sharp.

[c*n*n (is this expurgation appropriate?) makes the "other" f1.0 lens,
[the 1.0L EF USM announced with some fanfare many years
[ago, and still in their catalog (priced about the same as the noctilux)
[
[just out of morbid curiosity,
[why is the c*n*n lens have so little mind-share?  is it a decent lens?
[has anyone here ever used it?  maybe their problem is they never
[came up with a neat name for it.

[p.s. i don't ever think i'd ever buy the 1.0L EF USM; as far as far-east
[     religions go, i am a n*k*n man. :-)
