Light Sensitive
By default my only and favorite fast 50mm, Summilux pre ASPH.
Allows me to shoot low light.
Close to predictable with multiple exposures giving a soft broken-light texture on one of the layers.

My favorite fast fifty is ... the 60mm Hexanon 1.2. It is a tight 50mm and I use the M9's 50mm framelines which match perfectly.
Why do I use it ?
- because it has a Nocti kind of look with similar rendering and Dof.
- because it is much smaller and lighter than a Nocti, easy to carry everywhere.
- because it's only magic at 1.2, than modern and contrasty stopped down.

I have three 50s left, my favorites from everything I tried: DR Summicron, 50/1.4 Nikkor Tokyo, Summilux v2 pre-asph.
Impossible to decide which of the two fast ones I prefer. One has a very classic signature, beautiful wide open and close-up for portraits, the other one is a more modern and great all-rounder, with some weaknesses for close up and in the bokeh department.

I've narrowed mine down to the J3 and Zeiss Planar at this point. But I think I'll add one of your three lenses to my collection at some point. Just not sure which one.
