I would leave it in, it's so small ... Have a nice trip!First time flying with my M6 tomorrow.
Do I need to take the battery out or is okay to leave it in when traveling via plane?

Cheere!
Sure, I could have done that. - But I tried to show that normally used, it is almost impossible to tell them apart.Maybe you should’ve taken exactly the same scene with each lens?

They do have different resolution - a shown by a lenstrental test - and the handling is different, the lens cover being difficult to attach when the shade is mounted with the ZEISS.
Only wide open the Sonnar is different, but for enjoying this special capability one must put up with focus shift (easier to live with on the M10 with liveview).
Under controlled conditions (and not with forum quality), the different rendering might be seen, but again, not in normal use.
Things might be different with the Noctilux, the Summilux and the Apo Summicron. - But these I do not have ...
I've not tried the Summarit, but did own a Summicron, which is perhaps the sharpest Leica lens I've owned and possibly the best value. It is not much more expensive than the Summarit. It's weakness is the lack of a focus tab and I don't like the pull-out hoods.
The Zeiss 50/f2 is the best value for money of the lot with fabulous optics. I've owned one and my son now has one.
The Zeiss 50/f1.5 is a very old design and flawed by modern standards. If you want a quirky fast 50, I've got the Voighlander 50/f1.1. I hardly use it because ...
The Leica 50/f1.4 Summilux ASPH is a superb everyday lens - sharp, fast, great optics generally, and great ergonomics (don't get the silver one as it is significantly heavier).
Hi, handling is very much a matter of personal experience and preferences ... The Summicron (pic #1 above) is very good, however it is a little flare-prone. I shall try to find an example in my files.
The Summarit (pic #2 above) is much better against the sun. (Its hood can be used with the 2,5/35 Summarit, too(, which I also have).)
On the Planar (pic #3 above) I agree with you. The Sonnar (pic #4 above) is a "character lens", good wide open, and from f 5,6, too. Some say, it is two lenses in one ... ---
Thank you for sharing your Summilux experiences!

Hi, the lensrental test allows many conclusions, based on which properties of a lens one values most. You can't have it all, still applies to lens design, even when price is no object, as shown by the Apo-Summicron.Thanks, scanned that and it seems that the Lux is a winner and the Otus is close to it, and at around the same price, good news for Sony, Canon and Nikon users.
The images at 1396 and 1398 were with the 50 Lux on M10.
Oh, I should have gone there, when I was in Porto... There is a Leica factory near Porto, too (since 1973).Went to the Leica store in Porto, Portugal last week... real nice! Turned into a big kid of course One of the chaps gave me a nice mini tour of a few things in there, showed me the latest cameras and the very first digital cameras. Nice gallery too!

Hi, image 1 - 4 were JPEGs, with a little brightening, using PS Elements. #5 was a RAW, a little exposure correction and microcontrast enhancement, by DXO.Did you do much to the images with the Planar? I like the Zeiss rendering and keep thinking about getting the 50mm planar but never finally do it.
Sold the XCD30mm and just ordered this (Leica Q 'Titanium'), it will arrive just in time for Estonia/Finland trip - phew!
Congrats! A beautiful allround camera!
Quality... is the AF any good?
