I havent used the Noctilux much (since I havent owned it for long time) but my first impressions with the 50s:
Noctilux: I really like what I see, good contrast, even wide open, very nice bokeh, I like the overall look
50lux/asph: very good handling, images seem to have very good contrast and saturated color, maybe a little "finer" detail, maybe more subtile color rendition than the Noctilux but the Noctilux images look more powerfull to me.
I decided to keep them both and to sell the cron.
TOM That s a very useful test. I always thought the Notilux had a certain beauty about how it renders skin tones . Using a pink flower works well as a test. The summilux has the fine detail but a somewhat harsh look . The summicron has a nice all around look ..I always thought the summicrons had a warmer look than the summilux . A lot will depend on what your typical subject matter is and how you like the lens to "draw" the image. Again thanks really useful.
