The accuracy of the viewfinder i use is quite up to the demand of the lens. And the lens used at f1 gives quite a special look which i like. One good thing about a Noctilux is after you get one if you get one new the next lens you get seems cheap! "What only 2 grand?! chump change!!!!" IMO is not a replacement for a handy Summicron or Summilux. But just an added special tool for when you can deal with it's added weight and bulk and you want the speed and razor thin depth of field. I'd not make my first 50 a Noctilux. I'd make it a Summicron. Then add the Noctilux. Then add the collapsible Elmar. Then add the dual range. That's my plan at least. Cant have too many 50's. It's a great number! Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
