How do these two lenses compare from f2 through f16? Any opinions appreciated. Regards, Greg <<< Greg, If the Summilux-R is the current model (E60 filter threads) the biggest difference you'll notice is between f/2.0 and f/1.4. Both of these lenses are excellent choices but if you don't need the f/1.4 speed save your money and get the Summicron-R. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
