The Summilux-R 80 f/1.4 is regarded by many as one of the finest portrait lenses ever made. Wide open, it has the classic Mandler glow, but even stopped down slightly, it retains some of the glow while being very sharp in the center. Stopping down to f/8 or f/11 makes it sharp across the frame. I bought a used copy in mint condition at a reasonable price (for Leica) and feel that I got a bargain. However, by real-world standards, it is not what I would call a good value.
