I'd be interested in your opinion about the TTA 50/1.4 vs. other fast M-mount 50s. I noticed from the previous page you also have the VM50/1.2... Thanks!

Ron, I'd be too embarrassed to admit how many 50mm M-mount and LTM-mount lenses I have. If I could only keep one, it would be the Lux 50 ASPH. If I could add another, it would be the Summicron 50 Rigid (because the DR can't easily be used on digital Leicas). The APO-Lanthar VM 50/2 would be third, the TTArtisan 50/1.4 fourth, and the Nokton VM 50/1.2 might edge out the C Sonnar ZM 50/1.5 for fifth spot. The VM 50/1.2 is an admirable lens but, as you yourself said, it's "fairly girthy" and for that reason I've never really bonded with it.
Based on a number of favourable reviews, I bought the TTA 50/1.4 on a whim a few months ago then foolishly returned it on the grounds that I already had the VM 50/1.2. But, after taking the VM out for an afternoon a couple of weeks ago and making the pictures on the previous page, I realised I don't love it, bought another copy of the TTA, and am much happier. At USD369 it's ridiculously cheap and it seems to be optimised for closer rather than far distances, which suits me perfectly. The buildings in the pictures on this page were no more than 250 metres away and I'd never photograph any subject more distant than that. The corners in those pictures aren't great but the apertures were f/2 and f/2.8 respectively.
To be honest, I should use the Lux 50 ASPH instead, it's certainly a superior lens. But I have the BC version and for casual carry-everywhere use, I prefer the TTA. I'd say if you're curious then give it a try. I bought both my copies from Amazon and had no problems returning the first. If you have any more specific questions, please ask...
