i;m interested to get 50mm Elmar for my M3,but i''m not sure which one of the Elmar is the best one.
i've saw on internet,there's a few variant of Elmar,from different production years,like Elmar f/2.8 that having 15 blades apperture,and the Elmar-M f/2.8 with 6 blades.FYI,i'm shooting BW most of the time.
Thanks
 
For anyone to claim "best" they had better start by defining their criteria.

What are your criteria for a good lens? What is important to you?

sorry for the late reply..been busy lately.actually i loves a dark and contrasty image of B&W photo..any lens that able to produce that will be in my list.
recently one of my friend is offering me a leica 35 mm Summaron,that comes with goggles and Leica 50mm f2 summicron v4..i really don't know how to choose.i'm doing street shots most of the time,and i love contrasty image from the 50cron,but not sure bout the image quality and contast of 35mm summaron.both of the lens is in excellent condition...need your opinion here,as my knowledge in M mount lens is very limited.Thanks
