Some of what I've seen and read do make me think that the 35/1.4 ASPH is kind of like a late-model 50 Summicron on steroids, and the 35/1.2 Nokton is like a kinder, gentler Noctilux. I wonder, does anyone have two wide-open shots of the same scene or similar ones, one taken with the 35 Summilux ASPH and one with the 35/.12 Nokton? --Peter At 04:27 PM 6/1/2008 -0700, I wrote: > >Has anyone here used both the Leica 35/1.4 Summilux ASPH and the CV > >35/1.2 Nokton?
