Previous versions of the Summilux-R (E55 or Series VII filters) are considered adequate but not among the best of their contemporaries. Older Summicron-R lenses are quite good but at the widest apertures show more light fall-off than the current (E55 filter) version. >> In your experience, would this apply with equal validity to the 35 mm Summicron and Summilux lenses?
