I was hoping to be able to find this groups opinion on the new Summicron 50. I have a 50 Summilux from the 70's that I'm not totally thrilled with. My other two lenses are the 35 Summilux-M Asph and the 90 Apo Summicron-M, which seem nearly perfect. The 50 just doesn't measure up to these. So, would a 50 Summicron-M be of comparable quality (resolution, contrast, etc.)? I'm afraid that if I buy a new lens, Leica will come out with a new Apo-Summicron 50 just to spite me. It seems to me that a new 50 is due. - -- Jim Zietz - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
