It's tiny, works as well as the asph lenses one you get to about f4, and it's much less expensive. Good used models are around $900. Sincerely, Joe Stephenson +++++++++++ Gary and Dawn wrote: As I dream towards the lens that will replace my really very nice mid sixties chrome barrel 35mm f2 summicron, I am leaning towards the 35mm 1.4 asph. But in all reality would I be as good off with the just introduced 35mm f2 asph? Would the 35mm 1.4 intrude into my viewing area vs the 35mm f2. I have heard that the 50mm f1 does intrude a bit. Would those of you who have the 1.4 asph say the intrusion is as much as the vented hood of my current 35mm f2. I use an M4-2.
