Same here. I tried two Summicrons but stayed with the Elmar-M and sold both. I don't understand why Leica discontinued the Elmar-M.
What also makes it special is that the history of the lens goes back to the beginnings of Leica.It was replaced by the very un-sexy Summarit 2.5. In my opinion that was a bad move as there is no meaningful performance improvement and at least the Elmar had the collapsable body to make it special.
... Stopped down its also totally 3-d which rarely gets commented upon.
You get a BLACK from this lens... Stopped down its also totally 3-d which rarely gets commented upon.
