Not a comparison, but David Farkas other review uses 28mm Summicron and 90mm
Elmarit-M on the MM in many shots. 

Looking at the MTF curves, very fine detail especially in the corners is
where the 50mm AA is likely to better the 50mm Summilux asph - at what
enlargement factor I do not know ;-)

I wish some of these tests were conducted with something other than the new
whiz-bang 50/2.0. If I use a 50mm once in 3 years, that'd be a lot for me.
I assume most of us use a small spectrum of focal lengths, which won't even
be available in steroidal, bank breaking versions in the near future. More
useful (for me, anyway) would be one (or both) of the current (or even
classic) 1.4's: 35 & 50mm. The M9 vs Mono race might be more of a dead heat
if ordinary Leica glass is used.
