Subject: [Leica] 80 Summilux R (was 'Am I being stupid? (R content)')

P.S.
I do not have the 90 cron to compare the 80 lux to.
I'd guess that the 80 lux at f:2 would compare very favorably.

I simply prefer having the extra stop lux lineup.

I also have the 35 and 50 crons
and they do display slightly more contrast
than the lux's in those focal lengths.

If you're shooting film that may make a difference to you.
With digital I'd prefer to dial in the contrast.
