I thought the 50 Summicron was an excellent lens, but some of you say the 50 Summilux is now a best of breed and that it rivals the Summicron. My question is.....which lens is better at f/2? About the 35....my Summilux was a wonderful lens, but I think the 35 Summicron-M ASPH is a FAR better lens and I'll stick with it. I think I have decided to stick with the M for lenses through 50, and to use my R for 100 and up.
