Hmm. The Elmarit-M is much cheaper around here and the new version has a
builtin lense-hood that removes flare quite good. And the Elmarit is
_much_ lighter than the Summilux. Since I am not one of the
available-darkness-crowd but more of the as-light-as-possible-crowd, for
me the choice was easy :-)
