Of course the new ASPH lenses do not exhibit the "Leica glow." If they did, people would be returning them in droves, demanding their money back. The whole point of the new ASPH lenses is that they have eliminated the defects that cause "glow" - or what PhotoShop calls Gausian blurr...;-) Mxsmanic wrote: > > What does a Leica Glow look like?
