My question is.....which lens is better >at f/2? I would like to second this question. Apart from considerations about price and the extra f-stop, which of the two 50mm lenses (Summicron or new Summilux) gives the best "raw performance"? I realize the two lenses cannot be fully compared, but still... I am using the Summicron 50 and am very satisfied with it, it is clearly better than my Nikon AI 50/1.8 at larger apertures. Would the new Summilux 50 give me any visible advantage as far as image quality is concerned?
