I use my 35 mm summicron (non asph, ca. 1990)  85% of the time and my 90 mm
15% on my M6. I never used normal lenses much, but by using them in
medium-format I found that I am beginning to like them more and more. Since
I never tried a normal 50 mm on my M6, and since I would probably not use it
more them say 15-20 % of the time (time mostly taken by the amount I would
have used the 35 mm) I do not want to use a fortune on a lens - I dont need
the noctilux F 1.0, but I would like go for a lens of max F.2.0 like the
summicron. Question ?? some of you shooting a lot of 50 mm with experience
of different optics - what would be the best 50 mm allround optics, with an
image quality like my 35 mm summicron - would some of the olde optics be as
good - and what about voigtl?nder? I shoot a lot of pictures with little DOF
so i prefere not to have optics showing pantagon/hexagon shaped highlights
in the background
