Yup...Same optics, same performance - only the price is ludicrous...:-)

This may help. From our marketing manager at Leica USA:

"The construction and optical performance are identical to those of the
actual Summicron 50mm, but its design is inspired by the first
non-collapsible Summicron, which came on the market in the mid fifties."

Sounds as if we are talking about the same furniture, in a retro house.

Better image than the current Summicron 50?

BD,

Not the same image, a better image (than the rigid).
