>>>You will not find a better lens than the current Summicron 50 in
terms of sharpness at F/2.0<<<

I really think this is true. It is superlative from f/2 to f/4, very
good (but not better than certain others) thereafter. f/2 is a very
usable aperture with the Summicron. It's ironic that this may be one of
the great available light lenses despite not being very fast, because
you can crank it to full bore with impunity...
