I've used four different Noblexes (150U, 135U, another 135 and another 150),
and a Widelux 1500. I've been totally satisfied with all for optical
performance. Every Noblex functioned perfectly at all times. The only
problem I ever experienced was short battery life and battery doors that
liked to pop loose on the 150U.

The Widelux would occasionally band, and the front element of the viewfinder
liked to pop out. But the big problem was intermittent banding, even with
extensive, regular exercising of the rotation mechanism.
