Firstly, I take mainly people pics and portraits and so the f2 gives me the effects that I want. Secondly, I have used two versions of f2.8 (the small second version and the current version), and I find the both the lenses somewhat more flary than the summicron. The only reason I carry my 2.8 around is when I have weight constrains and would rather carry a smaller lens. Otherwise I would prefer to take pics with my summicron. Dan K.
