This is the sort of question was often posed in nerdom on the Internet.

I've had the Hexanon for quite some time now. The focal length is a bit odd to use with the canonical 50mm rangefinder frame lines, but the throw is short and smooth. I recently acquired the Summicron by winning the lottery. So, I thought I'd try it out in a totally unscientific head-to-head contest shooting with both lenses at Thursday night scrimmage. The throw on the Summicron, while not long, is a bit stiffer than the Hexanon. I have an impulse to buy a steer from LeicaGoodies and superglue part of it onto the lens to supplement the manual focus tab that is on the lens now.

All the files were processed in Capture One in a similar manner. I did not make a special effort to preserve the straight-out-of-the-camera look.
