I know this is debated endlessly, but I don't have a clear sense of how
to describe or, more importantly, take advantage of photographically,
the "different" characteristics of the different Leica lenses.  Reading
tech stuff doesn't help me much.

Aside from the specific characteristics of a particular lens, are there
general characteristics of the Summarits, Summitars, Elmars, Summicrons,
summarized somewhere?  (That was unintended, I assure you.)

TIA,
