Next to your Summi M, almost any 50 can come up looking like a weak 
performer, or is it that the Canon 50/1.4 is a notoriously crappy loupe?  
Either way, the coll. 50 is no match for either of these two 50's, in my 
experience.  Still, the consensus appears to be that the pejorative in 
question best applies to the Summar.
