my Leica goes anywhere and doesn't draw attention like an SLR. its smaller so I can take it anywhere, and its lenses and lowlight performance are way superior to my film SLR & lenses.

Rangefinder glass is so much sharper, but well yeah, much more expensive.

Well, for one, it's slow :P

Also it's a 50 year old design, so Leica or not it's really rather soft, especially wide open like I have to use it most of the time. I'd kill for a Summilux (tried one out a while back) but a Nokton will have to do for now - provided I don't keep this Summaron a little longer.

You'll probably thwack me over the head for this, probably deservedly, but since you're shooting digital now raw sharpness matters less than on film. Learn to use the USM tool for sharpening and local contrast enhancement, and high-pass sharpening, and the Summaron might be bearable.

I know absolutely nothing about digital workflow so you may actually be right.

there is nothing wrong about sharpening an image. it should be done to any image unless you are going for something special. there is allways some sharpness to get, and when done properly one will not get any artifacts.
