And it's not surprising that the Nokton - even at its bargin basement price - would have the edge, given that it is a modern aspherical lens and the 50 Summilux was last tweaked in, when, the mid-60s. The Summilux, btw, certainly has the edge is build quality, but that is true of all Leica lenses when compared to those of virtually any other manufacturer. But the Nokton is a very nice fast 50, not matter what it's compared to. B. D. B. D.
