Thank you so much David!
As for Ken Rockwell, whenever I want to read about a particular lens I always stop by hist page. His opinions aren't always worth paying attention to, but he has a fairly good overview about the facts on pretty much every lens out there.
And thats a beautiful M3! But why did you sell the Summicron 50 DR?
Hi Ole, yes I agree completely with the usefulness of certain aspects of KR's site.
I sold the 50 DR because I hardly used it on my M3 (which needs more use itself anyway). I did not want to have the lens modified to enable its use on my previous M9 and the local Leica repair centre did not know if the M240 is modifiable to use the lens (apparenetly the M9 is).
I have a Summarit 50/2.4 bought in as-new condition, a Voigtländer 50 f/1.5, a Canon LTM 50 f/1.4 and a Contax G45/2 that I am slowly converting to LM, so I have my share of fine 45-50mm lenses!

Edward - more great street photography. My clear favourite in your set is the man reading the newspaper.
