If I would need a >1,4 I should prefer the Summilux Canon has never made an SLR 35mm 1.4 lens. Nikon has. My experience is that the Summilux is better than the Summicron. But maybe I had to very good versions? Jim Kuehl told me it was better which is one reason I bought it. And I thought he was right. Again, that's ignoring the vignetting wide open in bright light against even surfaces. Never bothered me. When there was adequate light, I rarely used it wider than 2.8. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The secret of the universe is @*&^^^ NO CARRIER
