Most of the 35/50 Summicron/Noctilux/Summilux Bokeh is done at F4...... therefore my comment..... I never said the lens was without the sharpness that we expect with Leica glass... only that, at wide open apertures, the F4 3E is no better ( nor worse) than a fixed FL lens, at that aperture. I like the 90 AA, 35/2 ASPH and the 35/1.4 ASPH... WIde open there is hardly a lens to compare to the sharpness and clarity of the image. But I find them "technical" rather than "aesthetic" lenses..... My 35/2 Mr Bokeh lens or the 75/1.4, is just in a different class, bokeh wise..... Nothing I have found compares.... Note that I am still evaluating the 50./1.4.... which should be comparable to Mr. Bokeh.
