Welcome, well Jan I love my Summicron. The collapible version is the one 
that came with my M3 and it makes wonderful smooth images with b/w film, 
with a feel for the 50's and 60's. Not the harsh images I associate with the 
70's. Can comment on the elmar, but the Summi is a keeper

Hi LUG, 
I am new to this list and just purchased a used chrome M6 and some older 
lenses.  
Which one should I keep as the best (sharpest, best bokeh) user "normal" 
lens: 
3.5/50 collabsible Elmar (last version with meter and feet scale) 
2.0/50 collapsible Summicron (ca. 1954 version in feet only)
