Hi Jeff. 

I saw this message of yours and I thought you might be a good person to
ask- would I be right in thinking that the aspherical Leica 35mm lenses do
render the out of focus areas substantially differently- have you observed
such phenomena? I occasionally wonder about getting an aspherical 35 m lens
and replacing my pre-aspherical 35 but I would consider such a change in
the character of the oof areas most undesirable!
