And if you read Erwin's review, you will see that he has tested and
determined that the Noctilux is a true one full stop faster than the
Summilux.  Not just wishful thinking.

FWIW, and IMHO, if you want the extra speed, the weight and viewfinder
intrusion are just part of the experience of having a big chunk of glass out
there.

And come on people, if carrying the 600 gm of the Noctilux causes you back
pain, you got a lot more serious problem than carrying the Noctilux!  Yes, I
carry a Noctlux, and yes I do feel low back pain sometimes when I carry it,
but I attribute it to the other 250+ lbs, not the 2.5 lbs of the M6 and
Noctilux!
