A couple of comments on this thread:

I have been looking at more of the 50 Summilux Asph slides and it is a 
great lens. Its only flaw is that it does not handle flare as well as 
the Noctilux, 35/1.4A, 24/2.8A, 21/2.8A and the 90/2AA. Don't get me 
wrong, it is light years better than the Summicron but it is just not 
perfect like the other lenses above.

Money? My wife would lock me up and throw away the key if I thought 
cameras and lenses were an investment. Cameras and lenses are an 
expense! And an expensive expense at that. I buy carefully, test 
carefully and sell reluctantly because I know that I am losing, not 
making, money.
