>>>
I would like to purchase one of these R lenses in the near future, the
Summicron R 35mm F2 or the Summilux R 35mm F1.4.  Can anyone please give me
some opinions on these lenses?  Is the F1.4 worth the extra money?  thank
you.

Both excellent lenses.  Is the Summilux worth the $$?  Depends - how often
do you need f/1.4?  The Summilux is also considerably bigger and heavier.
