I have not seen any answers to your question so I will fire the first salvo.
The only reason, it is a good one though, to get the Summicron is for the
speed. If you shoot at f/2.8 and below, use the money saved for film.

If you have to have f/2, you could buy the Voigtina f/1.9 AND another M6
body to mount it on for the price of the Summicron. A somewhat sobering
thought this early Sunday morning....
