I have also a Summicron Collapsible, is a great lens, it give a very special B&W with absolutely nice smooth tones, on the point of vue of flare it is more resistant than the Elmar. Both lenses are beautiful to enjoy. I've said my opinion talking about B&W, I don't know in color. Hoping you show your pictures and share our opinions Saludos cordiales Lluis El 24/09/2008, a las 5:03, Jan Decher escribi?: > 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) > Jan > Vermont > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
