Only 1.3mm thicker than the distagon? I never held a summilux so I was just going at the size comparison with the FLE and it looked quite chunky.
I personally don't think the ZM is chunky at all (at least compared to basically every other compact e-mount lens I have), just a little incy bit long with the adaptor so that's not bad you know! My nokton SE e-mount lenses seem way thicker than my ZM. The 40/1.2 is quite a bit shorter, but the 50 not really - definitely thicker, and it's the smaller SE version.
Probably on a leica body it's different but I was told the size difference between the a7cii and m11 wasn't all that significant in practice.
I guess the leica lenses are little tiny things usually. Hmm maybe the 50 lux would be a worthwhile buy then, though I do have the simera 50.
Anyway, I don't think I need sharper than the distagon wide open but smoother bokeh would be interesting to see at that focal length (at f1.4-f2). Hopefully we get some side-by-sides (or maybe it's better not to know ).
Distagon bokeh makes snazzy images but maybe not needed in every single shot. And I'm enjoying 35mm.
