Rigid was best for me on BW, V4 is amazing on color. Personally, I don’t recommend DR, If you get the DR and later get a digital Leica you will need a different lens. The Rigid DR is great, but a little bit heavy. I pretty much exclusively use the Summicron-M 50mm V4 now as my 50mm, which has better coatings and may even be sharper. The Rigid is supposed to be sharper than the collapsible ones. You are going to find Summicron-M 50mm V4 if you are on the budget. However, its price has doubled in the past 5 years.

I have got myself a 50mm f/2 Rigid For a very good price. Our engineers have set new standards in imaging performance: This is the first lens ever to fully exploit the capabilities of modern high-resolution camera. It’s pretty rare for a lens of that age to have no damage. Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron Rigid is not so easy to find in good optical condition. It has a gentler rendition, lower contrast on CMOS and CCD sensors. Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron Rigid is a lens that performs really well on both film and digital. The sad truth is that certain types of things can’t go backwards. No other 50mm lens in the world is as beautiful as Leica Rigid. It’s a pity that this sound can’t be heard in later Leica lenses. Providing a classic normal-length field of view along with an impressive optical design, the Leica APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH. It was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower’s stem. I like the sound of turning the aperture ring.
