After using both these lenses in a variety of settings for a week, many, not all, of the image pairs (not all shown here) have struck me as if the images from the Noctilux were as if from a dream, and the images from the Nokton were as if from a documentary. Not a very nuts and bolts appraisal, and possibly I've looked at them too long.
Dream vs. Documentary, what a great way to express the difference (and the fact that you have looked at both of them so well makes you uniquely qualified to offer that appraisal).
I need to sell one, as that was the original plan, but as strange as it might seem, I can’t decide which one. Am leaning towards keeping the “worse” one, but that seems wrong.
Keep the 50/1 Noct, pick up a cheaper used smaller smoother rendering still modern 50/1.2
