I would go Summicron v4 over the v1 but it's my personal favorite. It doesn't produce much glow if that's what your'e after but I like the colors and contrast over the v1. 

Agree for colors, not for B&w

Another vote for the 8e here, I love mine.    I've grown to love the more mundane ways (and beautiful colours) of the v4 also, but I think you are spot on here

If you want more 'glow' than the v4 Summicron then a Summilux v2 would be (IMO) the obvious choice. Philip.
