Shame tough, it was the only competitor to the Leica M Noctilux 50/1.0 Canon has a tradition for making some of the fastest lenses on the market. Why didn't they keep it on the catalogue? Those lenses aren't made for profit anyway, but for showing the know-how of a manufacturer. ----------------------------------------------- Same with their 50mm F1.0L which was large, expensive and was the direct competitor with the Noctilux in terms of focal length and speed but the Noctilux was sharper, whereas the Canon 85mm F1.2 was sharper than both the Noctilux and the 75mm F1.4 Summilux which really used to burn the Leica zealots.
