The 1.5/5cm Sonnar dates from '31;  Leitz wouldn't equal its performance
until the second Summilux thirty years later.  

I believe the comments on HCB indicate that he used an LTM 1.5/5cm Sonnar
on his Leicas for a brief period after the Second World War, when the
closest Leitz lens would have been the 1.5/5cm Summarit.  No contest!
