The summicron will not go to f1. The summicron is the lightest of the three 50s. The summicron is the cheapest of the three 50s. Do you photograph often in very low light? Noctilux. Is weight and volume a consideration? Summicron. Are both the above statements true? Summilux Would you rather buy a two different f2 focal length lenses than one f1 lens? Summicron. I hope this helps as there will be no easy answers from us for your problem. John Collier
