Sent that news around the planet. Had one reply from a pro
friend already. (The Germans must be having dinner... :-))
To which I answered...
Why? The original Nocti f1.2 had two aspherical surfaces.
No doubt you are right. Who do you know who can focus one? :-)
Your version does not get into Summicron territory until f5.6.
You are also one of the few I know who can make a picture with it.
It's all about the "look".
Most pictures make me reach for my sea-sickness pills...

If there is a new Noctilux, speculation has it that it will be an
asph. This was actually bandied about on the “forum” recently.
Aside from the fact that most Noctilux owners can’t focus the
damned thing anyway , I suspect purchase & ownership are for
bragging rights and one – upmanship. Us Gen-Xer’s call it “e-
balling.”
