I have to admit that I can see differences that are meaningful as well. The
only three-way tie (very unscientifically I might add) is between the 50/2
Summicon, the 50/2 Hexanon, and the 50/2 Planar, though it would be
interesting to compare the three in a rigid users test. Perhaps it is easy
enough to design a really great 50/2 that any competent lens designer (and I
place those three at the very top) can do it. Okay, I don't want a flame
war...Schneider and Nikon produce great lenses too! Alright, and Canon and
Olympus.
