The Noct is a niche lens for (i) certain type of look and (ii) bragging rights (fastest lens).
The Noct is not an everyday lens. It is so big, not very practical to lug around.

Bro, I use my Noct ver 4 with my M9. Got the thumbs-up and luigi case with grip. Feels perfectly fine for me. I love the rendering of the f1.0!

you CAN'T poison me!
Title: Alice Cooper - Poison lyrics
Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains

this is like one of those, "N or C" or "film or digital"... everyone can have a point of view of what they would do, but at the end of the day, it is really what works for you.
i'd stick to the Noctilux if you can afford it. alternatively, downsize to or save up for a Summilux... but no need to get another M9 unless you really need another digital M.

I'll keep the Noct and get the Lux as well. Never a second digital body; maybe a film body.
Lens' value stays or will rise but digital body definitely will drop. However, I'm lens fetish.

Agreed! The noct .95 probably one of the best high speed lens in the world now. Get the 50 lux asph to complete the set. While u r at it, get the 35 lux ASPH FLE too.

I do agree with Gommy, Leica lens hold its value but not a digital body. If finance permit, keep the Noct and get the Summilux as well.
