If you are constantly reaching for the f stops beyond f/2 then by all means
get a faster lens. If you have never found f/2 to be a limitation, then why
bother. Many people settle on the Summilux as the best size/weight/aperture
compromise. The Noctilux is the same weight as another body, almost three
times heavier than the Summicron. The Summilux is only a little heavier than
the Summicron. Why not go to a dealer that has a Noctilux and walk around
the store for an hour with it around your neck.
