I just read an article on the 50 f2 11817 formula, and this seems (to some any way) to be the best 50 ever made (did I just start a war? of words!). I will be making an M purchase latter this yr. and your question makes me think where I'll start. If you can live with the thought of a zoom look at the 28-35-50 TRI-ELMAR-M ASPH. Its not a true zoom, I've heard good things about it.
