The only concern I have is the sharpness at 2.0. I've tested a few Leica 50's in the past that weren't too good wide open (Canon and Nikons I've seen have been better). I know I've asked you this before, but do you know how this lens performs in the center of the image area wide open? I really want a 1.4, but they're much more expensive. So if the 2.0 is sharp wide open, at least in the center, I may have a use for the lens, since I do a lot of low light, wide aperture shooting. Sorry to bug you with these details, and I'm not altogether sure I want/need this lens, but it's certainly a possibility, depending on it's wide open performance. Thanks.
