Hmmm,
A new Nikon 50mm F1.4 G is less than $500 and a new 50mm Summilux Asph is 
$4,000. Perhaps there is some truth that you get what you pay for. :-)
Also I have found that all my nikon lenses benefited from being auto focus 
fine tuned due to variations in assembly. Perhaps the 50 Nikkor in this
test was not tuned to the body used. Just a thought. I have two Nikkor 50 
f1.4 D lenses and they are both softer at f1.8 than my newly purchased and 
focus tuned
50mm F1.8 G. It cost me $220.00.

Would if I could.
Wish I had both (or either) kits in my possession. ;~(
