CA = Ick!  I can not stand that type of aberration .... makes me crazy....

No 35 ASPH Summicron here... just a 35 ASPH Summilux and 28 Summicron,
either of which tests out quite well....
My current choices are one of them.....

Still have a while to decide....  either is a marvelous lens....weight may
win out....or maybe focal length... I prefer a wider angle for this lens....

The M8 does have some disadvantages if you prefer a WA lens...

Chromatic aberration.


If you could live without f1.4 and push your M8's ISO 1 stop, the f2/ASPH is
one heck of a sharp lens and light. Noise reducing software (even what's in
LR is darned good) will take care of any difference
