The difference between all the Summicrons is very small. ?The best bokeh 
will come from the Summilux. ?The usual rules apply, use the largest 
aperture you can and extend the near/far relationship as best you can.

As to best value, pick up a single cam Summicron and you might get a body 
for free. ?Any of the R fifties are outstanding so go for the 
cleanest/cheapest one that comes your way.

James,





Bokeh and Macro just don't mix, Period.  At macro ranges, bokeh just does 
not exist.  We are talking 1 inch MAXIMUM dof.  For normal and macro 
shooting, I use the 60/2.8R Macro Elmarit lens and it works just fine.





Cheers,
