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?
