I've found very interesting all the opinions, I particularly agree somme
comments from Mark Rabiner about the ideal pocket size of Leica, and for
remember a great small camera, the Rollei 35.

As M user, a 40 present for me the inconvenient to be without framelines on
the viewfinder, I've never tried a 40, but it seems me a good compromise
between 50 and 35. I would add another point: we have discussed about the
quality of the LUX PRE-ASPH 35 mm,  on my case if I do a CLA could cost
about 300 Euro (in Solms), and in my opinion the Nokton 40/1,4 is better
than the old Lux, I don't know the performances on the f stop normal ranges
(middle tones etc..), but I ask me seriously if it is not better expend
about 400 $ on a Nokton than 300 Euro on a CLA, which are your opinions?

Please look these comparisons between them:
