I have been very happy with my 50 summicron for available light shooting.
For my situation, I just don't think 1.4 is going to add that much compared
to the bulk gained when shooting with a 35 ASPH lux.  Don't get me wrong -
it is a superb lens.
But if it isn't being used - well - it is the  world's most expensive glass
paperweight.

who knows - maybe I will keep both.
And feel guilty..
