Dan, I am about to buy(new from a local camera store) a 35/2 ASPH that I guess(should it matter to me?) is not a Summicron and I guess is maybe a Summilux. I do not know what the differences are. I do know that there are only two 35mm lens(UMMICRON-M f/2 and a 35mm SUMMILUX f/1.4 ASPH) shown in the 96 Leica catalog but on leicasource.com there is listed a 35mm/1.4 ASPH a 35mm/2.0 ASPH and 35mm/2.0 (non-ASPH) are listed. I am confused. Are you recommending against the ASPH lens? And what do the rest of you think? The prices appear to be about the same for all the f/2.0 lens and of course about $1000 more for the 1.4 lens so I am not interested in that big lens.
