The perfect 50 might end up being like the proverbial "camel is a horse designed by a committee". If speed is not a concern, it's the 50/3.5 Heliar If speed is a concern, it's the 50/1.4 Summilux (I admit to being partial to the pre-asph). If speed is only sort of a concern, it's the 50/2 Planar And all of the other ones could be used to capture an award-winning shot except maybe the 50/0.95 Canon (which I DON'T have).
