For my money, the nicest handling and best-performing 50mm Leica M lens I 
have ever

owned is the new, recently released 50mm Summilux-M in black paint. Solms got 
it

right with this one. No doubt my grandchildren will agree when I leave it to 
them

(heavily used).  :-)

Hey E,

How does the BP 50 Summilux "handle differently" than the current 50f1.4? I 
have yet to have received one of these and I only touched it for a moment at 
Photokina...but it sure looked just about the same???

Does it have a different focus ring?

cheers,
rich
