If anything the 60 is better than the 35, taking the whole frame into account certainly. The only shortcoming so far has been flare in some circumstances. Most Leica lenses are excellent at resisting flare. The only ones I have which have had flare problems are the tele-Elmarit 90 f2.8 and the tri-Elmar, which is quite poor in this respect compared to any other Leica lens I have used. cheers, Frank On 12 Jul, 2013, at 23:55, Ken Carney <kcarney1 at cox.net> wrote: > Since it is Friday, and way too hot to venture out, I tried out the Fuji > XE-1 and 35mm (52) 1.4 with some flowers around the place.
