There are plenty of people who seem to have little patience for the latter. Avoid that trap. <SNIP> - ------------------------------------------- That's about says it. Plenty! It is quite fun, if you can do it. As for 50 summicron/summilux, I think the summicron is better for most reasons given, but much more so it's more compact. It depends on your situation (good thinking...) I find this an easy answer. Price. Not worth it, learn how to shoot at 1/15 sec - that's easy compared to the money... But sure, it's a lot extra bucks and it has proven, if anything to be better or as good as the summilux and so. I personally find the bulk the issue. I want to be able to get in my car and not have the lens get stuck in the steering wheel. On the other hand, if you need the stop, perhaps (if you can do it) you should resolve this by going for the Nocti - this will certainly get rid of the uneasiness in the stops difference as you will be almost in another ballpark, or something, than your consideration for the summicron. You will then have the capability to quite substantially utilize the capabilities and differences in opportunities involving low available light. Either or, I'd like to be asking this too...
