If you recall we discussed this lens last week and pretty much agreed that with the exception of flare this was a pretty good lens. My next choice would be a collapsible Summicron a little better performance twice the price. If you are feeling adventuresome, then do a Capa thing and pick up a 50mm Zeiss Sonnar in LTM. This might be from Jena, or be called a Jupitor, or could be a Nikkor. These are nice sharp, fairly small lenses that can be pretty cheap in the ex Soviet case to pretty expensive in the case of an authentic Zeiss in LTM. Last choice for monetary reasons would be on of the NOS Leica lenses issued a couple of years ago in LTM. New glass, fully multicoated, modern performace and price. I haven't brought up any of the Elmars or Cosina offerings for any good reason that I can name.
