Wide open it's naturally a bit soft and coma is visible. But, from f/2.8 onwards it's a great lens. Recently I've been thinking about upgrading to the ASPH. I'm a little confused though as to what the differences are between the current ASPH and the no longer available Aspherical. Even my recent books, such as Lager, Volume II - Lenses, doesn't mention the ASPH. The Aspherical is almost mythical in its reputed capabilities. My question is, how does the current ASPH compare? I don't think I want to spring for an Asperical, even if one were available at the moment, but the ASPH is on the border of affordability. Appreciate everyones comments, particularly those who might have experience with both or either, and also anyone who has read any informed or authoratative opinons. Cheers, Michael ps: I'm off on a 10 day business trip to Asia, (with my M6, 35mm Summilux and 90mm Elmar, of course), and I may not be able to log on every day. If I don't reply right away, I'll be along shortly.
