And I replied: Probably true. Going up one stop from the summicron is something I want to do as I shoot wide all the time(metaphorically speaking). If I am willing to go a 1/3 stop less, as a 1/3 of a stop is "meaningless", it is only 2/3 of a stop more than the summicron. Silly reasoning but there it is. I do know I need that extra stop and I want all of it that I can get.
