If someone would allow me to post a photo on their site for a few weeks, I could send them a print to scan in which shows what the 50 summiluxM can do wide open. >> The differences in quality are small enough that there is no way a computer monitor could adequately reveal the level of quality involved. I have no doubt that photos taken with the 50 1.4 would look excellent on the web. The improvement in the new 50 1.4 would not be revealed by this type of comparison. How many lines of resolution can a computer monitor show, even under the best of circumstances? Maybe 5-10 lines per mm? The resolution of quality lenses and the differences between the current 50 1.4 and the new 50 1.4 are an order of magnitude greater. Perhaps this reveals something about the varying standards that different users have. Tom Shea
