(at 1.4 and above :-)< Hi Richard, I never thought it was anything else but f.1.2 and never fiddled with a meter to check it out to be anything else but f 1.2. I put it on the M7 and started shooting away. You know KISS ;-) Story of my life. :-) >>>Also, how does it compare to the Summilux ASPH? (at 1.4 and above :-)< Sorry I can't be of any help as I don't test things like that, as I'm usually too busy shooting. However, having had lots of Sandy Carter's ASPH 35 1.4 negs and prints around here I'd say the C/V f1.2 35mm, mine anyway, has cut negs as good as her ASPH 35 1.4. Now that's an eyeball comparison and not the least bit technical, but damn mine sure look pretty good. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
