This is not a what I should buy thread but a what I should sell thread.
My recent MP purchase forces me to sell one of them. Here what they do for me:
Zeiss ZM is cheaper (will make less money on sale) but optically I prefer it over tabbed German made 'cron that I have. Planar is also a bit bulkier in size compared to leitz' creation. The major thing that forces me to sell Planar over 'cron is that I used cron for 5 years now and got so comfortable with it that my hands just fall into right places when I use it. I even managed to turn aperture and focus rings at the same time ;-) (virtouso). The compactness of the lens is beneficial as well since I carry it in my bag every day.
So, I would like to know what would you do in my position?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Hi AK,
I think you answered your own question in may ways, the 'cron feels most comfortable and as you describe it, is almost an extension of your hand
I have both lenses and if I had to part with one of them it would be the Planar, but I would have a good look around and see what else I could sell or cut back on first

I will assume that you are writing about the 35mm Summicron 4th version. If so, keep it!
