His advice was to go for the former unless I aimed to do a lot of work at low available light levels, which is fair enough. But he then surprised me by saying that at the Summilux's wider apertures the cost of the extra stop is a slight trade off in resolution compared with the Summicron. Can this be still true with modern lens design? If anyone can point me in the direction of a test on this it would be appreciated. Regards Roger Underwood - -------------------- roger.aru@cwcom.net
