Noctilux is the God of lenses, I certainly would

 You've stated repeatedly your criticisms of the lens


And would you care to count the numbing number of posts praising the lens?

Actually, neither Ted nor Tina have rebutted the bulk of my criticisms, 
other than Tina pointing out that it really isn't all that heavy, and 
Ted's saying that it is his only 50. I would guess that most of the 
time, Ted and Tina are using the lens for precisely the purpose for 
which it was so well designed - to get shots that can't be gotten any 
other way.

 What more remains to be said?

Nothing at all.
