>the Noctilux is not just a low light lens. 

I don't own one but I'm curious to know if there's a discernable difference 
between the Noctilux at, say, f/8 and the 50mm Summicron at f/8? Can the 
difference be readily seen... at any aperture? If not, why would the 
Noctilux be only for certain situations and not for general purpose? Unless 
it's 
substantially different, the only complaint, I'd think, would be weight. Can 
someone enlighten me about this?
