at f1, than the Canon at 1.2. That said, I like the results from the Canon. 
It has a nice fingerprint.
And you can't beat the price...

Ted, or anyone else -

I've never owned a Noctilux but I do own an old Canon 50mm f1.2 lens in 
a LTM. With an adaptor for my M3 it was just the thing when I needed to 
shoot in available darkness. I would appreciate it if anyone who has 
used both of these lenses could offer a quality comparison. That is, if 
you can do it without gratuitous slurs against Canon products.
