His practical use observations are, IMHO, consistent with Ted and Tom A. I may get yelled at for copying an excerpt from his article, but here is where he describes Ted's observations to a Tee: "From the standpoint of a practical photographer, working in the situation described above[low light, handheld, slow shutter speeds, high speed film], the performance at the wider apertures is quite acceptable and quite uniform over most of the image area. When using films like Tri-X, its high acutance and good edge sharpness can compensate the softness of the Nokton edge detail. With slide film and slower speed bw-film however, the definition of the Nokton is not up to the current state of the art."
