Subject: [Leica] Summicron-M 50mm or Summilux-M 50mm?
From: Pascal <cyberdog@ibm.net>

I am afraid I am going to ask a rather difficult question.

What are the relative merits of the Summicron-M 50mm f/2.0 and the 
Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 for the M6. Tests are not always quite clear on the 
issue, although I get the impression that the Summicron often receives 
better test results than the Summilux.

Does anyone have experience with both lenses? Which lens should be 
preferred in terms of highest overall optical quality?

Thanks.

Pascal
