I don=92t know if you=92re talking about the original 50/2 R or the =
current version. You probably missed my posting a couple of weeks ago, =
when someone asked for advice on buying a Leicaflex SL and a 50/2. I =
think it=92s best to stay clear of the old 50/2 R because of the =
abnormally high levels of flare. I own a single cam from the 60s -- =
it=92s sharp, contrasty, and I really like the color transmission -- but =
as you mentioned, backlight pictures completely wash out. If you need to =
shoot a lot of backlight pictures,you may want to consider buying a 60mm =
macro.

Regards,

Robert
