Dr. Blacktape comments:

Well, a 35 Summicron ASPH with an extra stop and quite a few extra ounces -
if the Summicron is the Anita Eckberg of the 1950s, the Summilux ASPH is the
Anita Eckberg of the 1990s. :-)

But it is still one hell of a lens - in Dr. BT's opinion the ideal
"standard" lens for the M shooter who eschews twinkies.
