Marc,
This is what I thought. So we should compare a current Summicron to
the curretn Zeiss ZM Planar perhaps (tie?) and the Apo-Summilux to
the new 1.5/50 Sonnar (Summilux wins, I suppose).
I might take you up on stopping by at your house next time I am in
the D.C. area (X-mas?). Aren't you down there somewhere (Virginia?).
Really ought to see that PLOOT reflex housing ;-)
...and maybe you even have an original Contax OIympia Sonnar engraved
by Leni Riefenstahl....

Come over to my house and I can let you do a
shoot-off between Postwar CZJ and CZ 2/50 Sonnars
and both a collapsible 2/5cm Leitz Summicron and
a 2/5cm NF (DR) Summicron. The Summicron is a
remarkable lens but so is the Sonnar and there
really isn't much difference between their performances.
A more remarkable lens is the 1.5/5cm CZJ Sonnar
of 1933. Leitz was unable to MATCH the
performance of that lens until they produced the
second version of the 1.4/50 Summilux in
1961. They probably finally exceeded it with the
new 1.4/50 APO-Summilux but I have yet to buy one of these.
