Thanks Don for your advice. I've forget, I have too an uncoated lovely Elmar
3,5/5cm LTM, and the Summitar is also a lens that I think one day will be
drop on my back, every lens has his own purpose, but after this if I say
that I'm not a collector...., I don't know if I drink every day a small cup
of whisky if I'm an alcoholic...

All the best
Luis

Luis,
Oh, I don't think youi have too many 50's. If you like a little softer look,
try using an uncoated Summitar.  They are not too expensive and can provide
a lovely look as long as you don't include bright lights in the frame.  Or,
pick up a Canon 50mm F1.4.  The Canon has a quite wonderful rendition
especially wider than 5.6.  So in your bright landscape perhaps some FP4 in
Rodinal.
