I have a Leica R-6.2 camera which I have been using for close studio work using the only lens I have for it, a Macro Elmarit-R 60mm. f/2.8 lens. I have decided to broaden it's use by getting a 50mm. lens for outdoors. The Summicron-R 50mm. f/2 seems the most ideal and is the most compact of the lenses which I had in mind. Of course, being budget conscience, I was seeking a used one. The local Leica dealer didn't have any used Summicron-R 50mm. at this time but only had new ones. He did have a used, but pristine appearing Summilux-R 50mm. f/1.4, the lastest of three verisons with an E60 filter mount which he would sell me for about the same price as the new Summicron. New, these Summilux lens cost more then twice the price of a Summicron. They are heavier, bulkier, and a lot more glass. Some of the internet reviewers have said that they are the best lenses available and other reviewers have said the Summicron's are better, so at this time I'm confused wheather to keep the Summilux, which I'm trying out now, or get the new Summicron, which was my original intention. I will end up paying about the same price. If you are an experienced Leica user, what is your opinion?
