sunny 16 with an F1 lens and ASA 100 film is............... F1.0 at
1/256,000 second
Better to use ASA25 film with F1.0 at 1/64,000
or in open shade at F1.0 at 1/16,000, ASA25
or in dull light in open shade at F1.0 at 1/4000, ASA 25

The Noctilux, at F1.0, is really an inside daylight or outside in the real
dark, lens.....

If you want the F1.0 you need to get a 4 or more stop ND filter, and that
ASA25 film in open shade or else use it at F5.6 at 1/1000 of a second in
which case, the special look of the lens is about shot....
