My point is that even with those tips, a Summicron 35mm asph and a currernt Summicron 50mm, for example, are not substitutes for a Summaron and a Summitar, respectively, at least in my portraits. IMO it is also the case with the 100/4 and 100/2.8. BTW, I happily acquired the lens yesterday. I wish I could afford to get a 100/2.8 and enjoy the two lenses with distinct image characters.
