[Leica] IMG: Selfie with New Glasses, Classic Portrait Lens

[Jim Nichols]

I still have a 55/1.8 Tak as well.  I always thought it was just a little bit sharper than the 50/1.4.  As to the reason for the longer FL, I think it had to do with finding space for the mirror mechanism, which they eventually got down to 50mm.
