SDK said:The question should be "What is your favorite 50mm Planar?" All the 50mm Summicrons, and the Hexanon are Planar derivatives.
OK, we have a winner: Older is automatically better. 🙄peter_n said:And of course Konica has only been in existence since 1873. 😉

...but still for me the summicron is legendary
What do you thing the lens became famous for? It's smell did not make it a legend.kevin m said:What does "legendary" mean as regards lens performance?
vrgard said:Interesting, William. Do you like the collapsible 50 better than the 40 it originally came with? And if so, why? Reason I ask is because, based on your comment about pocketability, the 40 meets that objective quite nicely. So what else is there about the collapsible 50 that you prefer (assuming that you do prefer it over the 40)? Or is it just because the topic of this thread is favorite 50s?
Thanks,
Randy
Flyfisher Tom said:William,
I ask because I don't know the answer, but does the 50/2 collapsible collapse into the CL? I have been told it cannot without harming the meter arm?
thanks
Yes, I use my 50/2 on my CL. There isn't much room left when it's collapsed but it's enough... I asked DAG about it when I had him doing the CLA it needed when I bought it and he said to go ahead. Apparently it will hang up on a M5 meter arm, but it does work just fine on my CL. Cameras vary so you may wish to carefully test yours before just tossing it in your pocket, but I have no worries about mine anymore.
