When I bought my outfit, I looked very briefly at the Summicron it was very nice. However, I preferred the Elmarit because of its smaller size and weight. It also costs just over half the price of the Summicron. I'm sure that it is an excellent lens, but for me the Elmarit will do just fine. If I need an extra stop, I'll just have to use a faster film. As far as results are concerned, I am stunned at the quality that it (and my 35mm f2 ASPH) can deliver.
