Shot merely with F1.1, 25% of a stop more than the 0.95 Nocti! Oh well.

OTOH, the Nokton balances REALLY well (the Nocti always felt a bit
front heavy), the focus throw is decent, and the images from F1.1
looks much the same as other apertures (i.e. no dramatic light falloff
or swirls...). If it does not kill Nocti sales, it probably does put
the damper on converted 0.95 Canon TV lens sales and the like.
