[Leica] For trade? Or, maybe I'm just way off base.

[Susan Ryan]

John,

I only used the 1.0 wide open and that's how I'd use it on the MM. Thanks for the input. I generally prefer the look of pre-ASPH LENSES, but I've never  had the opportunity to closely examine their effects when used on an MM. After looking at prices of things, and considering the input from Lluis and Tina, I will likely sell the .95, look for a nice used MM and think about whether I can justify extra $ for a 1.0. I have a pre-ASPH 50 summicron that I use a lot, but I do still miss my 1.0.

If that is how you use it nothing else comes close, if it is often/usually stopped down then look at a pre-asph Summilux? The MM gives noticeably different looks with pre-asph and asph lenses, both are excellent but in different ways....

Party B has a Nocti .95 she doesn't care much for but who would like to own and use a Monochrom and Nocti 1.0. Assuming comparable working condition of all the equipment, would the monetary value in such a trade be relatively equal?
