I switch back and forth quite often. They seem like similar focal lengths, but I find them to be very different. The 50/1.4 is a very under-rated lens IMHO. I just wish my 50 'lux didn't have that odd 43mm filter size. I have a complete set of filters specifically for that lens. But that indicates how much I like it. - -----Original Message----- From: Frank Filippone [mailto:red735i@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 9:34 PM To: Leica-Users-Group Subject: [Leica] First Images from the 35/1.4 ASPH and the 50/1.4 I had bought these 2 lenses used in the recent past... this weekend there was a Renaissance Fair in the area, and I took my 2 lenses out for a workout. I am a bit of a nut for 3D imagery.. that look you get from certain lenses, that look that with only 1 image, no trickery of optics or electronics. The image just seems to be 3D. I think I hit the jackpot.... The 50 at 1.4 is certainly in that camp... very close to the results I got from the 75..... And this was in keeping with what I was told to expect.... very nice areas of creaminess. It is a keeper. The 35 is what surprised me... I think I got the same results! I must go back and shoot that lens again.. the reports say this should not happen, but....... maybe I confused the 2 lenses when I took the shots...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
