THe current Cron has more contrast and bite. It's also sharper across the entire frame below f4. At f2 it blows the DR away, but as you said there is something lovely about the way the DR renders images. My two favorite 50's are the DR and Summilux-M, but I also have the current Cron. For some subjects you really do want that crisp sharpness. feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com
