Subject: RE: [Leica] Non-Leica lenses for available light

Following up on this thread, what about some of the more famous SLR available 
light lenses such as the Canon 55F1.2L/Aspheric, 50F1.2L and 85F1.2L lenses, 
the Nikon 58F1.2 Noct and 85F1.4 versus their M counterparts? Ignoring for 
the moment, the fact that a RF camera will have a 1 to 2 stop camera shake 
advantage, is there "something else" that a "specialty" SLR lens can do that 
a Summicron cannot that would make it worthwhile to get and use a lens like a 
Canon L??? Canon implies in it's literature that use of aspherics allow 
electric lighting (neon and etc.) to be better recorded than non-aspheric. In 
short, wide open, how would a SLR aspheric fare against an equivalent focal 
length Summicron--each on a tripod? And then WITHOUT the tripod?
