I finally got a good one, and it is as sharp and contrasty as my uncoated Elmars from moderate apertures on down. But where the Summar really comes into its own is as a portrait lens wide open. Fantastic bokeh, gobs of that Leica glow with an image that is flatteringly unsharp. Both lenses are relatively cheap as Leica lenses go, and it is worth owning both, IMHO.
