About one year ago I decided to buy the elmarit because : - - Price - - Size - - available in silver chrome (warning, this is a heavy but looks so nice) I did not regret buying that elmarit for a minute. That lens is at 2.8 already fantastic but I try to avoid that since the depth of field is so small that I get a lot of out of focus portraits. I also compared both, the summicron and the elmarit and I could not see the difference. Probabely I am not the most demanding user and lousy in focusing but that lens satisfies my need completely. I am convinced that both lenses are offered since both have stregths. Frederik Boone
