I wouldn't do that.  I've had problems with my Nokton.  I'd only had 
it a few month when the blades all fell down inside the lens. It 
wasn't covered by warranty since, supposedly, vibration from travel 
loosened the interior screws. When I got it back, it doesn't focus to 
infinity.  It seemed to do o.k. on these lens tests, but I just don't 
trust it anymore.  I've never had any problems with my old 
Summilux.  The Summicron has a totally different look to it and a 
much better reputation than either of the faster lenses.

YMMV, though.
