Subject: [Leica] Differences between f1.4 and f2 Summicron 35mm ASPH lenses?

I have owned both. I found the 1.4 35mm a bit too big for my tastes
and sold it for a 2.0
Now with the M8, I am glad I kept the 2.0 35mm - I don't miss the 1.4
option a bit.

Plus, with the 1.4 the camera becomes front heavy. If you set it down,
it will >likely< fall forward . But that is a minor quibble.
