Beautiful shot, Andrei. Have you had a chance to compare the E55 'lux to your E60? I've heard the E60 is better, but haven't seen much to qualify how it's better.

I'm interested too in see a difference between the last e60 and the e55 50 summilux.

Thanks! I think both E55 and E60 versions are fantastic. Wide open the difference is subtle and the preference almost becomes a matter of taste. E60 has slightly richer colors, stronger contrast, even smoother bokeh, but not by a big margin. For me the biggest difference is when shooting stopped down where E55 version with its 6 aperture blades can produce hexagons and E60 has much better looking blur circles. But if you are not shooting in bright sunlight you won't notice it.
Here is an example from Summilux-R E55:

That's what I thought until I really examined the performance and realised the resolution/sharpness at the borders/edges really doesn't get going until at least f5.6-f8.
Pound for pound I think the ZF25 matches it.
Rendering may be a bit different though.

Two vertical-shot pano (Telyt 4/280). I am completely blown away by what this lens can produce *if* used properly. Handheld. Unsharpened image (LR 25 / 1.0).
