If you need the 1.4 and don't mind the lens size you already have your perfect lens. Most especially if it focuses for you exactly where you want it. More than that, many Leica folks prefer the smoother more traditional Leica look it brings. The Summicron, as is probably known is one of my two favourite lenses and technically the very best 75. The single biggest factor for me though is not its form factor but its focus accuracy. If you want more compact, I'll be devil's advocate and say consider getting the little Summarit 90(!) and keep your Summilux. The Summarits seem to pop up considerably discounted. They are all tiny packages and the reviews are great. Of course if you were considering a compact 90 then the Elmarit can be a real bargain. There you go, I've overfilled your bag and emptied your wallet! 2009/4/5 Walt Johnson <walt at waltjohnson.com> > > http://www.pbase.com/image/110925725 > > The 75/1.4.
