Vick,

I think that satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the Summarit 50 depends on 
the particular specimen that you have.  I had one for several years and it 
made some fine images, though a little soft wide open, but it was not in 
good shape mechanically. The aperture click ball was worn, and I got tired 
of trying to fix things and traded it for a Summitar.

Some people find this to be a great lens. I suspect most specimens need a 
CLA by now.
