The observations of two rather different classical novae, V 1500 Cyg (= Nova Cyg 1975) and NQ Vul (= Nova Vul 1976), are presented and compared. Nova Cyg 1975 is outstanding with respect to absolute magnitude (M = -10), range of brightening (Δm = 19), and speed of evolution (t3 = 3.6 days). Its prenova object had to be fainter than about magnitude 9. The corresponding values for Nova Vul 1976 are rather conservative (M≈-7.5, Δm ≈ 12, t3=40 days, absolute magnitude of the prenova ≈4.5). The light curve of Nova Cyg 1975 is very smooth. Some superimposed photometric variations of a small and slightly variable amplitude of a period of 3.4 hours are most naturally ascribed to a binary nature of Nova Cyg 1975. Nova Vul 1976 has a completely different lighteurve with extremely strong rapid irregular variations of considerably amplitude. There is a remarkable second maximum about 14 days after discovery.
