Hi Dan . I compared / tested the 2.8 ELMAR against my 2.0 / 50 summicron and 
I didn't see any diff.
I bought that lens a couple months ago along with my "newstalgia" M4 and it 
looks like an old lens from the time of the M4 . At the moment I decided not 
to sell the 50 Summicron due to low resale value ; I think I 'd better keep 
it .
I use the ELMAR on the M4 most of the time with Tmax 400 , this is the camera
I go everywhere with , as a pocket camera . On the other hand , people think 
it's just an old and cheap camera and don't react agressively when I shoot 
them , Not like with an F5 with megasoom .
Regards .
