I am very happy with the Zeiss 4.5/21mm and 2.8/35mm C-Biogons on my M6 and the 1.5/50 is on my list as my one high speed lens. I also have the original postwar CZ 1.5/50 Sonnar on a Contax IIIa and love its characteristics. Otherwise I agree, the 2.0/50 Summicron is hard to beat as a standard lens.
