Yes, the Noctilux is my only practical 50.  I have a Summicron that has the
eyes, but I don't think that fits on anything current.  I probably use my
35/1.4 more than my Noctilux and I was wondering if the 50 Summilux might
be a good idea.  The bad part is that I just bought the M240 and my
equipment budget for this year is beyond blown!

Thanks,

Tina
