The noctilux has a glow the 35 aspherical does not have . . . --> " Glow " ( Noctilux ) is a buzz-word I'm not sure at all I understand. Is this "bokeh" translated to English ? Would this be a way of describing superior highlight / high key detail performance ? A "better shoulder" some might say ????? --> I'd tend to favor the 35mm asph f/1.4 "solution" for wider angle (more useable to me), for reported unbelievable resolution and edge definition at some apertures, better blow-up capability built-in, and a likely better camera system bahaviour in lower shutter speeds situation (focal length dependant) = less shake, add extra (and critical) real-life depth of field when wide open (every mm helps ...). Now I simply have to find the cash (C$4000, that baby)... Andre Jean Quintal
