Rated 5 out of 5
My favorite lens I own or have owned, ever
This is the end all lens for my M10 Monochrom. I just keep it bolted to it. It's "only" f2, and I had the Summilux before, but, with the monochrom, going a little higher ISO doesn't hurt at all. I read a bunch of reviews and comments about it not being as good as the Summilux and not as magical, but I absolutely love how the subject is super sharp at f2 and the out of focus areas have smoother bokeh than say the Summicron V5. For me, it's too hard to manually focus a 50mm at f1.4 consistently, so I have a f1.4 35mm and then was using the Summicron 50mm V5. In addition to better bokeh than the Summicron V5, you also get this really dramatic contrast drop between the isolated subject and the background so the look is pretty amazing to me at least.

Very smooth process from purchase to delivery
The lens arrived in the original beautiful box. More like a package for Jewelery or high end watches with velvet lining etc. Adorama secured it professionally with several layers of air cushioning and double boxed. Delivered ontime. Very smooth process from purchase to delivery. The lens itself is a masterpiece of German optics. Flawless glass, solid metal and robust mechanics. Feels great in the hand. Sharp from corner to corner. It's simply the best 50 mm lens in the world, period.

Simply the best
I own nine Leica M lenses, two of which are the 50mm Summicron (non-APO) and the 50mm Noctilux. Of all my M lenses, this lens, far-and-away, excells the others in contrast, tonality, edge-to-edge clarity, and zero chromatic abberation. And with respect to these characteristics, this lens really shines on the M Monochrom and/or black and white film formats. Granted, it's an expensive lens, which is somewhat due to high manufacturing scrap rate and expensive glass, but the superior nature of the optical configuration gives crednence to its high price tag. In my opinion, it's worth every penny.
