Maybe the Summilux 50 is the best compromise, but I like to travel light, so the Summicron is my choice. I remember when the Swedish photo magazin "Foto" tested the Summicron 50 two years ago. They stated that this was the best lens they had ever tested. There simply was no competition. But the Noctilux is unique, of course. /Hans >are you going to get a 50mm?Go for the best, take the Noctilux.
