If so, then I recommend that you take a look at the Summilux. I think that one of the reasons for having Leica lenses is the ability to take good pictures at wide apertures. I personally have a Summicron and a Noctilux, but if I could only have one 50mm lens, it would be the Summilux (1.4). Nathan sim wrote: > Hello, > > I just bought a 2nd hand M6 0.72 today.
