[Leica] Voigtlander Nokton 1.1 yes or no?

[leicaslacker at gmail.com (kyle cassidy on the LUG)]

Hi folks ? 

My trusty $100 Canon Serenar has picked up a slight wobble, I?m not sure if 
this is a portent of evil to come or if I just never noticed it before ? but 
the front element section will move around a bit if you wiggle it (?stop 
wiggling it!? advice I thank you for in advance).

I?m thinking of preemptively replacing it. I was going to go for a 
Voigtlander 1.5, which seem to be about $900 in Leica M mount, but noticed 
that the Nokton 1.1 was going for about $650 ? any thoughts on whether the 
nokton would work as my only 50 or is it too big for every day use? 

Suggestions of other 50?s you have lying around in drawers and want to get 
rid of also taken.

Priorities are:

1) no slower than f2
2) focusing closer than 3 feet (which means any screwmount 50 is in, though 
I?d prefer an M mount that I could focus closer without having to resort to 
the penny-shim trick.)
