Thanks for posting the link to that review. Strange that he didn't mention that it was the MC version he was reviewing. I can't wait to see SC version reviews.

Looks like a nice all-you-need 50. Loving the compact size and I hope it doesn't focus shift much. I own the ZM50 and there's very little to complain about. The extra stop of the VC will help indoors.
Watching this thread closely and I hope this lens ticks all the boxes for me so I can rationalize my gear and keep only one 50 that's fast and compact. Hopefully the SC version will give it a bit of that classic low contrast mojo.

I just noticed that the distance scale on the focusing ring is marked in meters only. I don't think I have any other lens that is marked only in meters. I'm sure most of the world is comfortable with that, but it is an inconvenience for me. I would like to have seen a dual scale.

I noticed that too and I believe the 35/2 Ultron classic is the same. It was nice to be able to think in both feet and meters so this will be an adjustment for me as well if I get it

It's a pity that there is no version available in M39 ltm for screw mount Leica.
Such one could perfectly replace my Nokton 1.5-50mm asph, which is a bit beefy with filter size E52.

Response to an older post: This lens is optimized for F1.5 for digital cameras.

I just got this lens. Is there a preferred lens detection setting?

I take the Summilux 1.4 50mm asph., but my intention is only getting the EXIF Data.
At 50mm lens corrections are not so important and I normally don't shoot JPGs.
50mm Lux Asph. code is only one black field and so it's very fast and easy to code the lens ...
PS: Just a small quick and dirty SP picture from the coding
(Sorry for the bad quality)

Very interesting. Since this is my only Leica mount lens I have nothing to compare it to but I think it is a fantastic lens. Interesting that it tied for first.

These lenses look very nice. I wonder if I need another 50mm lens or not.

Of course you do. Camera Quest has a few available used

I am looking at the 50/1.5 V1 which might create more of a classic look in the wide open apertures. The CQ description does not mention how many aperture blades it has which I would very much like to know. Can't recall if it comes SC and MC, but SC would be my preference in this case. Comments appreciated.

The v1 has 10 blades

Sorry for a typo, the v1 version has of course 10 blades (see link)

My CV Nokton 50/1.5 II MC works nice on my M-A.
