I like this one of Garrick better :).

I have to say that I'm very, very impressed by the image quality of shots taken with the Noct. It blows me away every time.

Of course the price of admission blows me away too (M Leica body + Noct = Big $$$$$) :P. I'll just have to admire it from afar :).

Just my opinion, but I think you should keep the Noct and sell the 75mm.

Very nice Ted. I like both of him. Where's the Noct. vignette though? ;-)
The only thing I don't like with the Noctilux is the inconsistency-sometimes the images are nice with a unique look, sometimes they are just too funky.

Hi Warren and Mike, yes I love the Noct., unfortunately it's much more likely to sell than the 75'lux and for a lot more, probably 2x or whatever.

Seeing photos from the CV Nokton @ 1.2 make me want to keep the Noctilux even more, the Nokton may be too good and have none of the "wackiness" that makes the Noctilux so interesting.

Mike, I only see the vignetting on snow photos that are post processed, though I'm sure it's there and visible by others, especially Nokton owners ;)

All this Noct/Nocton talk makes me want to put my Nikkor mf 50mm f1.4 on my D100 and shoot some stuff for fun :). I know, it merely a 1.4, but that's the fastest and shallowest dof lens that I have :P.

The CV Nokton shots that were recently posted on RFF were pretty impressive.
