I lusted after the DR but when I had the chance to use one I have settled for the regular (previous) Summicron. If you must have close focus with M series, you must get the Visoflex and 2.8/65 Elmar. Don´t know how they compare with Nikkormat and Micro-Nikkor, pricewise (or otherwise). All the best!
