The 75 apo summicron would be a great smaller/lighter choice and cheaper too! Sure you lose a stop of light, but with M240 even that wouldn't be a problem..

I may rent the 75 APO version to see how I like it. But I really like how the Lux version renders.
The lux is great if you love the classic Mandler style lens. It's less contrasty and has very smooth transitions and look. I don't mean less sharp, but that "velvet like smoothness" for lack of better words.
The Apo on the other hand is a modern laser beam, which will cut you bones deep with sharpness. Also quite contrasty. Very much like 50 lux asph, being it's sister in design.
Both very nice lenses in their own way.
