The only three-way tie (very unscientifically I might add) is between the 50/2 Summicon, the 50/2 Hexanon, and the 50/2 Planar, though it would be interesting to compare the three in a rigid users test. Perhaps it is easy enough to design a really great 50/2 that any competent lens designer (and I place those three at the very top) can do it. Okay, I don't want a flame war...Schneider and Nikon produce great lenses too! Alright, and Canon and Olympus.
