I think that optically you would be better served by either the cheaper Elmarit or the APO Summicron. The former is much less expensive and some say sharper, the latter is very much better optically. Esthetics is another path; the older Leitz lenses are mechanical works of art and have caused me to spend money on lenses that duplicated duplications.
