To quote from his posting, "I personally settled on the Leica 50/1.4 ASPH – not the cheapest option, but the one from this group that had the best balance of rendering quality, resolution, edge performance, size, speed, tactile, desired angle of view, minimum focusing distance, haptic feel etc – it’s not the best in any one category, but it scores very highly across the board."

I agree about how 50mm score highly across the board. Too bad X1D has only 1/3s read out speed. If it has mechanical shutter or 1/60S read out, I might get it already.
Just got back from the Smokey Mountains National Park. We got hit by a Winter Storm on the first day of spring. I thought it would be cool to get a shot of green grass, water flowing and snow in the trees. I drove around looking for what I had in mind and was fortunate to find a spot that had all the elements I wanted in the photo. It was well worth the freezing temps while doing the shoot.
