I am not sure whom this is intended.  Certainly the Summilux version has
sufficiently shallow dof to cater to most.  Possibly a much better optical
solution?  I know that Nikon does a brisk business with their 105 f1.4:
possibly large lens envy?  It's not like you can't find excellent fast mid
tele's in the M mount.

On the other hand a better optical solution is always good to have in your
tool belt.

All the best.
