One of the nice things about the M2, IMHO, is that only one frameline is visible at a time, leaving the view very uncluttered. The M2 is my favorite M body for the above reasons and the one I usually use unless I need 75mm framelines or to use my Rapidwinder. (Rapidwinders are available for the M2 also. I need to save up my $) The Summitar is the immediate precursor of the Summicron and a fine lens. I only see weakness in this lens when used both wide open and close up at the same time. Here the Summicron is better. Cheers! kw >I have a chance to acquire a M2, equipped with a 1.4/50. I don't know >a damn thing about how this one works.
