The Planar is not more aggressive than some modern Leica lenses to be honest, with the added benefit of little flare at a reasonable price. The Planar has just a bit of focus shift, but Summicron v4 and v5 are hardly better in that. The Planar is a great lens definitely so when i need a sharp 50 i tend to bring it instead of a Summicron 50/2 apo. Only con (or pro) is the Zeiss look but it is a matter of taste. Not the genius of a Summicron v1 or v2 for sure but it is a matter of taste too, some people don't like their lower contrast which is rather an advantage for tweakings in PP to me. YMMV.

Because I have I have it and it works fine? Why buy something different? I used my first Summicron as my main lens for over 40 years, until I started reading this forum, then tried several newer 50s.

It’s my favorite 50mm so definitely feel it can be your only lens : ) Here’s some shots I took today with it, at f2 on the M10P

One more. Quite sharp and beautiful out of focus areas. Plus a pleasure to use, perfect focus throw and light.
