Well, t'ain't necessarily so. The glass itself in a Noctilux is different
from other formulas. It's not just the f/1.0 that makes it a Nocti. Anyone
could put together a green glass f/1.0 and call it a Nocti-equivalent, but
it's more than the size of the barrel ... it is also the color and quality
of the crystal inside.

If its not F/1.0, its not Noctilux.
