I have both pre-asph 35mm lenses and absolutely agree with your findings! The 'lux wide open is "softer" than any other lens I have, including the Noctilux. I use this lens almost exclusively in B&W at 400 and above ISO settings. I like the results and it's one of my favorite lenses for early morning B&W shoots ;) Stopped down it's an incredible performer, I find it better than the 2/35. All the Best!
