Noctilux is my dream lens, too, but I own the Summaron 3.5/3.5. It's the cheap one. OK, but has anybody tried shooting with it into - let's say - low evening sun? It sure does create a pleasing effect. I presume it's the same about your Noctilux. Martin Congratulation! I had for few days current version of Noctilux, but I did not buy one. Instead I bought first version which has different properties, or like Erwin says more flows. The old Noctilux gives more "artistically" pleasant pictures to me then the newer one, specially in daylights (f1, t1/1000). The newer one is better technically, different coating, mechanic... There is something in pictures taken by this lens, try to discover it, but probably you will spend the rest of your life to find out what is that!?
