     The canonical answer to this question would leically be to take a look 
     at the following web site:
     
     http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/leicahome.html
     
     There is a very good comparison of the different generations of 
     Summicron M.

I am new to this list and I have a question.
I have the opportunity to buy a second hand (but in excellent condition) 
a Summicro 2.0 M. The only problem is that the lens is about 25 years 
old.
How does it compare with a new Summicron M 2.0 ?
     
Are Leica lenses like Bordeaux Wines (older = better) or should I better 
buy a more recent lens ?
     
Thank you for your answers.
Regards
