This is an interesting discussion and could morph into a question of lens character and photographic style. I think comparing lens signatures is extremely helpful. If the 24 Lux looks like the 35 lux then they got it right. You have to assume a fast lens is designed to pull strong images out of weak light and to provide exceptional selective focus. Both known qualities of the 35 lux.
The offer the alternative of the 24/3.8 which looks like the color,landscape,travel option. Minimal distortion ,strong color and resolution and small form.
Not so clear how the 50 noctilux fits in ...except that its a standard bearer....a super fast version of the 50 1.4 asph....which I guess is reasonable positioning. But...it will be quite different than the original Noctilux signature . Personally I prefer the ability to dial in the level of sharpness...like the 50 pre asph . But thats what makes the system so great ..you have real alternatives.
