You won't have to eat the crow that feather is attached to, B.D. - you're
not wrong.  The web review of the Nokton at
http://www.imx.nl/photosite/japan/voigtl01.html makes specific comparisons
to the Summilux-M.  the Nokton wins by a small margin overall, though he
gives the edge to the Summilux for build quality and flare resistance.
