It is nice to be able to agree with Marc insofar as the dual-range  
Summicron is concerned. Though less micro-contrasty than the more  
recent Leica 50s, I believe its resolution to be about as good as it  
gets. Having said that, the two Leica M 50s I have kept in  
anticipation of the M8 are the 50mm last non-aspheric Summilux, and  
the current 50mm 2.8 Elmar.
