The new Summicron 35 is an amazing lens, and with the money you save you could buy a used 50 or whatever else turns you on... Your experience with the older 35 is normal. I owned one of these and it is not a great lens if accurate reproduction is your goal. Some have written that they LIKE the effect that the flare and coma give at wider apertures. I did not, and sold the lens after several months. Good luck Dan > > > > Hi everybody > > I have a 35 summilux pre-ASPH, and I´m not so happy with it.
