Quite an interesting opinions from all you guys and even some 
xmm...hilarious ones...:) (Mark Rabiner)

Just to get back to the track: I was talking only about fast (1/1.4 and 
faster) options from Konika (Hexanon) and Leica..
I own and use contemporary 50mm Cron which is my main "people" tool so 
far, however figured lately that the majority of my stuff gets shot 
indoors and events where faster then f/2 is often desirable.
Hence the question....
