I think it is well-known that the 40 summicron and the 40 rokkor are of the same design, the rokkor being manufactured by Minolta to Leica's specs. I had a 40 Rokkor before, on a CLE, before I had any Leica. It performed very well. What I don't like about the Summicron is the Series 5 filters. With the Rokkor, which uses 40.5mm filters, and a step-up ring, I can use my 46mm filters. Ben
