Nice lens. Can't wait to see the first results. A little slow for my liking but then the price is under $1000 too. Does anybody have any positives about this lens (hold the negatives for a while)? >> I have been using one of these for almost two years and love it. Its performance is exemplary at all apertures. Do not hesitate to use it at f2.8. Erwin gives a slight technical edge to the Summicron 50, but I much prefer the look of the photographs from the Elmar. A marvelous lens; combined with an M6 it makes for a versitile, compact package. Will von Dauster
