At reproduction ratios of 1:10 it's the Macro Elmarit, at f/1.4 it's the
Summilux and in all other cases it's the Summicron.   However, talking about
lens sharpness doesn't mean very much to me because there are many things to
consider when defining a great lens.   High contrast (apparent sharpness) is
only one of them.   I'd much rather have a 75mm Summilux than the new 90
Elmarit despite the fact that the Elmarit's high contrast can make it appear
sharper.
