I'm wondering if someone could demonstrate the major characteristics (not technical) of both 50 mm lenses. Maybe somebody has pictures made with both lenses for comparison. Thanks !
My take on it is ... you own and use the Noctilux to shoot at f1.0 ... so you can never realy compare it to the summilux
Seriously .. the Noctilux is an excellent performer stopped down .. but there is not much sense to use this large heavy lens only stopped down.
Closest focus distance of the Noctilux = 1m, Summilux: 0,7 m .. important diffrenece if you want to use the lens for portraits.

4 samples with Noctilux with M8 at f1.0
