My most used combination is the M6 with the old 35mm1.4 Summilux. If you are careful about light sources just outside of the image field wide open, you will get wonderful results. I am sure that the ASPH version is better wide open, but I would not be concerned about "sharpness" issues here, only flare and ghosting. My F1.4 shits are all hand held with fast film and at slow shutter speeds. Resolution and corner to corner sharpness issues are moot under these conditions. Color saturation is terrific however. Bob
