   Thank you Peter for your thoughtful review of the Summarit as a serious photographer. I bought the Voigtlander 75mm f/1.8 as a less costly yet reasonable quality lens primarily for portraiture. I must admit that I was somewhat influenced by Sean Reid’s discussion of it, particularly in terms of its slight softening of facial details in portraits. I like the lens a lot but find it rather more soft at wide apertures than I’d prefer ( I so wish an M-lens were made like the Zeiss 85mm 1.4 for Nikons — gorgeous wide open in its “drawing”.). The upshot of my remarks is that I’ve ordered a Summarit 75 like yours because it seems to draw cleanly yet not harshly. I’ll compare them for portraits and see….

   Thanks again for your site and your love of photography.
