Everyone here seems to be into high speed lenses and it seems a bit confusing to me. I understand that the faster Nikon lenses are generally better than the slower(cheaper) ones but I didn't think it worked that way with Leica. I've used Kodachrome, KII, K25 and K200 almost exclusively over the years and I very seldom shoot wide open. It would seem to me that a Summicron at f4.0 is every bit as good as a Summilux at f4.0. Have things changed at Leica so that the superfast lenses are better? It wouldn't just be a macho thing would it:-)? Bud Cook
