colonel Posted July 24, 2014 Share #1  Posted July 24, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) That guy's problem is, he doesn't see the forest for all the trees. Sure, the Apo-Summicron does have slightly better edge sharpness, somewhat less lateral chromatic aberrations, and slightly higher resolution of fine details, compared to the Summilux-M 50 mm Asph. And yes, all these advantages are very nice but not really worth the extra money.  What actually makes the Apo-Summicron-M 50 mm Asph worthwhile is the magnificent clarity, the transparency, and the way how it gets out of the way. Your captures will be all picture, no lens. However in order to understand this, you need to stop testing and to start using this lens. Look at the forest, not at the trees.  I am not quite sure how detail and "transparency" relate. Surely only a slight enhancement of detail means only a slight enhancement of transparency/clarity ? I am probably misunderstanding something here  You are right, perhaps I simply need to hire this lens and try it  I am still blown away by the Summilux, in my simple terms of clarity (and many other facets), everytime I use it so am wondering what more there is out there .....
