I tested the APO on an M11 and it just wasn't enough better for the subjects I use an M for. I am not denying the appeal of very high resolution but I am quite pleased with the Sigma 40 1.4 ART and the 135 1.8 Sony. I also can't say enough good things about the Sony 20 1.8. Much larger and significantly heavier but if resolution at 60mp is what you are looking for there are great options out there. Sonny's 50 1.2 is no slouch in all respects.
