And expect to see a significant difference between my 35 1.4 Summilux used these past 31 years compared to the 1998 version just off the line! :) The 35 1.4 aspherical really made a believer of me as did the 21mm 2.8 which we shot with and a few images with the 35 f2. I realize the wear and tear on my oldtimer 35 Summilux probably contributed to the difference of not cutting the film with the same crispness. However, I had never related to the old lens having anything wrong with it, as there isn't as far as I'm concerned, as it has recorded many fine frames for me. But the aspherical really does make a different look to slides. And I'd expect it to, compared to a lens manufactured 31 years earlier! But it sure does magic to the film whether you have a lousy picture or a good one!:) It's too bad I couldn't have kept some of my wine for 31 years! :) ted "the older" :)
