But I also noted that if you needed the 1,4 aperture and could not afford the Summicron as a second standard lens, you were very well served with the Summilux, especially the older one as it is cheaper second hand. My listing here just shows the ultimate optical quality. And the 75 tops the 50mm Summilux in its overall qualities. Erwin
