50mm Lenses so much choice for my new best focal length

I've been all over the map with 50s and just ruling out third party options from Leica my two favorites would easily be the Summilux Asph and the Elmar-M (the later version). After also going through a million lens swaps I ultimately came back to the Summilux Asph as my main and only 50mm lens. I don't regret this choice as it pairs perfectly with the M10 and works equally as well on my film Ms.

Lux and Elmar is the best set of 50 I could imagine. 

I’ve been busy for a while hence my quietness.

 I’m at Leica Mayfair for a workshop and whenever I go passed the store I need to keep blinkers on to stop me going in ( plus if I bought a Noctilux I wouldn’t have any money ) 

the Elmar and Lux do make a good team.  If I want really low light I use the Q and the dreaded ( for some people ) Cropping

i might look out for a Voigtländer though

Any digital camera made since 2008 will provide enough ISO for really low light, if no flash is allowed.

But I have seen then my digital will need 6400, yet, on film I could get away with ISO 400 and f2.
