1) It should be good, I would prefer the Cron.
2) 50/1.4 or 50/1.7? I had the 1.7 and it was meh.
4) I have most of the Tak and K mount 50/1.4's, and my fave is the SMC K 50/1.4, an impressive lens.
5)I prefer the FD SSC 50/1.4 over the nFD, also the FL 55/1.2 is worth looking into.
7)the OM 50/1.4 MC is quite good

TBH, I don't care. Whatever strikes my fancy at a given moment. I have like 30-40-50 of them and I can't say I have a favorite.

If allowed to opt for a slightly longer focal, I would select the Asahi Kogaku Takumar 58mm F/2.4 (Heliar optical formula).

Cheers!

If you can afford to buy the Summilux, then you can afford to start off with the cheapest two, sell the "lessor" of the two and move on to the next in the price range. At the end you will have your favourite, it might be the FD, it might be the Summilux, the important thing is that you will have the answer that is right for you.
