Not sure what you mean Dan - I only have the 50 and only have that because I could not buy the camera body on its own. My limited shooting with the Hexanon indicates it is a fine lens, very similar to the 50 Summicron. I went through three new examples of the latter until I got one as good as the Hexanon so yes I am impressed. Colour balance and tonality seem very close. Field flatness is possibly better than the Summicron though there is not much to complain about with the Summicron. I prefer the hood, focussing tab and filter size of the Summicron to which I am very accustomed so that is what I usually shoot with but I will keep the Hexanon as a backup.
