Jack...thanks! I look forward to the comparison. I love my Lux R 50...and that'll stay, too, as well as the FE 55, but I wanted something a little smaller for 50's walk around, and everything I've read, and seen( your posts!) with the CV 50 ASPH decided for me. I have the CV 40, which I really like, but as some new poster noticed above, the bokeh can be a little funky wide open(although to me it's called character!!). I heard that the M 50's smear in the corner?
Thanks again,
Gregg
