You are welcome Rolf  ....and this first shot is great, lovely rendering!
This lens has quite a bad reputation or at least not so good reputation as the elmarit, I realy don't know why but may be it will be a good idea to compare the summicron with the elmarit  .....

I prefer my summicron to my elmarit. True, the elmarit is noticeably sharper, but the summicron just does beautiful things with light, especially when shooting portraits. It extracts fine detail without shoving it in your face.

+ 1 Sharpness isn't all where I believe starting at f/4 or f/5.6 both lenses are sharp on an equal level.

I just thought I would illustrate how this lens performs. This was shot wide open after sunset as the light was practically gone. It's cropped a little as the bottom and top was completely dark and didn't add much. It's also saved by the grace of RAW but it still shows a little how the summicron performs at infinity wide open, even tho it was designed as a portrait lens. It renders very small detail, but it does it in a smooth way.
#1
#2 very small crop
