Cropped to not offend more than I normally do.
Of note... IMO the Cron 50 v5 is wildly unappreciated nowadays. I shoot with it much more than my Lux 50 because the handling is perfect - focus throw and weighting is perfect, it always seems to nail focus, size is great, sharpness and boo-kay are just lovely.
Agreed that this lens - which I also own - is falling often under the radar these days. It is one of my few Leica lenses which kept the price tag constant for what I bought it for used in 2015. Great sharpness and bokeh (the latter really shines with close-focus lens attached and shorter MFD). One thing I am not a big fan of with this lens - its retractable hood is quite flimsy which is often mentioned. Possible that it can be tightened when the lens is serviced, but it is not worthwhile for me to spend money just to improve this.
