If you can find a collapsible Summicron in good condition, also look at it. Cost about 1/3 less than a Rigid. Not quite as sharp, but close.
Some shots with my Collapsible and Type I Rigid Summicron on the Leica forum, here: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-...son-shots.html
Hopefully you can see the images. If not, register for free and then you can view them. | I agree a collapsable Summicron will not be as sharp as a current rigid Summicron but I would say, as someone who has used both and owns a 50mm Summicron current model that the 50mm Summicron is far sharper than a 50mm 1.4 Nikkor. In fact you would need to be careful using a 50mm Summicron for sensitive portraits of the fairer sex, they my not thank you for it's searching images
