I don't feel I can spring for the ASPH lenses at present. So, unless I start feeling a lot richer, my current choice would have to come from one of the pre-aspheric 35 or 50mm, either the Summicron or the Summilux. Of course, Ted is telling me that maybe I can focus indoors adequately with my present Summicron-R lenses. I have the 50 and 35. I confess that I never put myself to the real test trying to focus on faces at f2.0 indoors with the R lenses, but on an informal dry run, I felt like I wasn't doing so well. I would still value your opinion about the above choices, if it is not putting you to too much trouble. Regards...........Julian - ----- Original Message ----- From: B. D.
