That's correct -- and my own side-by-side comparisons confirmed that it is in fact superior at f2 and f2.8. However, my chrome ASPH is much larger and much heavier than the non-ASPH. I carry the M6 & 35 at all times, and the non-ASPH is more "carry friendly" for these reasons. In most cases (mostly amateur use), I'll never be bothered by the slight optical differences between the two lenses. Believe me, it hasn't been an easy decision as to which one to get rid of! I guess I could still settle for either one. Andrew
