The 75 Summilux as as much in common with the Cosina as a Noctilux does with
a collapsible Elmar.
You don't think:
Which lens do I want?
The Noctilux or a collapsible Elmar?

You'd not be thinking of those same lenses the same day...
They don't belong in the same paragraph of mind.
Or document.

They simply share the same focal length number.
This number gives them a little something in common with each other.
