:-)

Actually, I think about trying to get by with a slower 90, 2.8 or 4.0.
That's when I find myself needing the Summicron at 2.0 and not a bit
stopped down.

I know, I know ... it doesn't weigh much for the old-timers, used to
Graflexes as they are, but I do wish it was a bit lighter or smaller,
like the Contax Sonnar or the 85/2.0 Nikkor.

It's not worth selling. I've been lugging it around since 1973 or 1974
and you can tell I've gotten clumsy a time or two.

You can hold them steady too:

1/30 @ 2.0
