When the 28 comes out and becomes part of my system I'll be using the 35mm Asph, the 50 with detachable hood, the 90 apo asph which i just got and love. That's four Summicrons! But i think if you asph or apo a Summicron you just make it better. mark rabiner F2 and be there! I certainly have used that F stop a lot in lower light in the past month! But with fancy acronyms like apo and asph and Leica I use it with a whole lot more confidence than i have before.
