I take the Summilux nearly every time in case I need the extra stop. I take the Summicron when I need every last weight and space saving I can use. While I enjoy reading your posts I have to say that your succinct precis in the final paragraph is more easily answered than trying to cope with the previous multiple questions. A. Take pictures! This is by far the most meaningful way for a photographer to assess a lens. best regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Andre Jean QUINTAL [SMTP:megamax@abacom.com] Good Afternoon, Other than a full-stop extra speed, would someone care to step forward and comment on the actual benefits of choosing the new Summilux 50mm f/1.4 over the much less expensive Summicron 50mm f/2 ? (very large snip) OR: is there a standardized form, somewhere, to help assess a lens design in a really meaningful way ? Andre Jean Quintal
