anyone compared zm 50 sonnar and rollei 40 sonnar?

[back alley]

i did get it, but wasn't ready to buy (still not).
i hate to waste people's time when all i can do is talk about it and not move on it.

Thanks for the confirmation, Joe. I totally understand and admire your reluctance to bother other people until you're ready to commit.

I was contemplating making a pitch to buy the Rollei Sonnar first, because I think prices are going up on the 40/2 Summicron-C/M-Rokkors, and I guess that will affect the Sonnar, which is likely to go up anyway. BUt you're right, that 20/1.7 is probably going to be much more useful, so it makes sense to get it first. Whatever you choose, enjoy shooting!
