LUGERS,=20

Advice needed.

I am thinking of replacing my f3.5 35mm Samaron with a modern 35mm. =
lens. I don=92t need f1.4, so it boils down to the f2 M or the f2 =
aspheric. Same speed. Price difference seems to be about 20%. The =
aspheric weighs 95 grams more and is slightly larger.=20

Is the difference in cost, size, and weight justified by improved =
pictures? I=92d be grateful if anyone could share their experiences with =
these lenses.

Thanks,=20
