I think this group might be quite large. I had the 1.2, got the f/1 
when it came out, got rid of it after about 15 years and about 5 
years after that got another one (which I still have) all for the 
same reasons you mentioned, except that the f/1.2 Nocti wasn't as 
good as the f/1, so there was some logic in that move.

BTW, I was just looking at an old catalog with the f/1.2 version in 
it, and the price of the Nocti f/1.2 was almost exactly 3x that of 
the Summilux. Makes the just announced price increase of the Noctilux 
just (very slightly) palatable.
