Not sure what you mean Dan - I only have the 50 and only have that because I
could not buy the camera body on its own. My limited shooting with the
Hexanon indicates it is a fine lens, very similar to the 50 Summicron. I
went through three new examples of the latter until I got one as good as the
Hexanon so yes I am impressed. Colour balance and tonality seem very close.
Field flatness is possibly better than the Summicron though there is not
much to complain about with the Summicron. I prefer the hood, focussing tab
and filter size of the Summicron to which I am very accustomed so that is
what I usually shoot with but I will keep the Hexanon as a backup.
