Peter I've shot like crazy with and AI Nikkor 50 which is now being intensively
being used as my Loup on my light table (you turn it upside down, I put a hole
through a back cap).
I was sold on Leica when i saw how my first Leica lens a 50 Summicron 7 years
ago blew my 50 Nikkor out of the water. No contest.
