A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

I don't shoot with Leicas however......

Glad to see ya have that f1.4 glass. My experience with lens's are that I buy the lowest f stop I can aford f 1.4, f 2, f 2.8. and I shoot them wide open or one stop closed for sharpest pics. Lens are generally sharpest at f 5.6 or f 8. I've hardly ever shot any of my glass over f 11.

So if you use a f 2 Summricon 50mm. you would need to shoot it at f 4 or 5.6 for superior results. However with that f 1.4 it would be sharp one or two stops down, so that would be f 2, or f 2.8.

So to my way of thinking the Summilux 50mm. f/1.4 is the one to get . If it isn't to big ,heavy for you.
