I'd rather have a Noctilx, if it's all the same...

JEEEEEEZUZ!!! Now I'm wishing I'd have gotten a Nocti back in 2003 when I got my MP. I found an old camera magazine from May of '03 the other day. B&H was selling the Noctilux for $3200 back then!!

I fear that Leica and the currency exchange rate will conspire to price the Noctilux into extinction, especially if the non-ASPH f/1.0 version goes away.

It will be a sad day for all of Leicadom.
