Thank you to everyone for your input! I'm of two minds about getting the new Nokton. On one hand, I love the idea of being able to shoot at f1.5 without leaning in for compensation, and at up to 70cm away as opposed to 90cm. On the other hand, I've already got the Sonnar and I'm questioning whether I really want to spend that much money to scratch the GAS itch.
Prediction: for the next few weeks or months, maybe even a year or so, I'll keep looking at photos taken with the Nokton. In the meantime, I'll also be stockpiling the "slush fund". I'll walk into one of my dealers and see it on the shelf, play with it for a while, and buy it anyway.
Thanks again for all the input, it's what I love about this forum. That, and my imagined vision of dozens of people all over the world, faces illuminated by a screen, and rangefinders and lenses strewn around our desks!
