I did not mention a 50/1.4 once. [Austin] I am sorry, my misunderstanding. Thank you for clarifying that. > The noctilux vignettes much more than the 35 aspherical > The 35 aspherical is noticeably sharper. [Austin] Guess I'll just have to get a 35 ASPH 1.4 and see for my self. I looked at Erwin's site, and I can't find any MTF figures for the 35, (if you know where they are, please pass the info along) but I know people who have a 35 ASPH have had nothing but good things to say about it, as well as his (Erwin's) evaluation, which is resounding. - --------------------------
