My first Leica lens was a 50 Summicron tabbed version on a Leica CL which I
held on to until a few weeks ago.  I "upgraded" to a non-ASPH 50 Summilux
via ebay last year and found I didn't use the Summicron after that.  Selling
it was hard, but I don't like to have stuff lying around unused so it had to
go.  From every other respect I don't regret the change.  Part of using a
Leica M in my view is the enjoyment of the hardware itself and that comes by
the bucket-load with the summilux :-)

Simon.
